Smile

Its 3:30 a.m. and we just finished My Girl 2. Not only did this movie provide us with an excellent soundtrack but it also was really sweet and a little more happy than the first one. Vada goes to California to learn about her mom because of a report she has to do for a class. She is trying to discover her mother's greatest achievement in life. Along the way she has many adventures and many stops to the different people who were in her Mother's life. It all leads to the discovery that her mom's biggest ambition was to have a child. Although it was because of complications in labor with Vada that she died, 

Vada was her greatest achievement.

 I will admit, there were still tears in this movie. When Vada is watching a video of her mom singing "Smile though your heart is aching....." brought some tears. Vada discovers a lot of things while on this voyage to learning about her Mother's life. There is a lot of growing up done on her part also. Thomas J. is mentioned in this film and of course the mood ring with it's sentimental value is also brought up. :) It was a really sweet movie and did I mention the endearing little relationship between her and that cute boy to the left, Nick. They have a precious goodbye kiss that got quite a response from the ladies in the room. lol Now that the My Girl Movie Marathon is at a close..I suppose its time to study for my final tomorrow. haha
