388.0. "My Girl" by TLE::JBISHOP () Mon Nov 29 1993 12:14

    This is a coming-of-age movie: but the age is 11.
    
    Anna Chlumsky plays the daughter of a mortician (Dan Ackroyd).
    MacCaully Culkin is her best friend, Jamie Lee Curtis the woman
    who does the make-up on the dead people.
    
    By no means a "kid" movie, it's about dealing with death.  It's
    also a serious big-time tear-jearker.  It got me three times, and
    I'm an emotionally detached critic (but I'm also a parent, so I
    can be gotten to).
    
    It's interesting to me that 1972 is now the nostalgic past of
    safe small towns and childhood.  I remember it somewhat differently,
    but I was a lot more than 11 then!
