Vada Sultenfuss grows up in a funeral home and navigates loss, friendship, and first love in the heartfelt My Girl films. Here's how to watch them in order.

My Girl is a tender coming-of-age franchise centered on Vada Sultenfuss, a precocious girl growing up in 1970s small-town America. The 1991 original became a beloved tearjerker, and its 1994 sequel follows an older Vada as she searches for answers about her late mother.

πŸ• Release Order

Release order is best, as the sequel follows an older Vada.

  1. My Girl (1991)
  2. My Girl 2 (1994)

Story chronology follows release order, with the sequel set a couple of years after the original.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

Story chronology matches release order β€” My Girl 2 picks up with a slightly older Vada embarking on a journey to learn about her mother.

  1. My Girl (1991)
  2. My Girl 2 (1994)

Which Order Should You Choose?

Watch the 1991 original first β€” it's the emotional heart of the franchise and introduces Vada's world. My Girl 2 is a gentle continuation worth seeing if the characters win you over. Release order is the natural choice for this sweet, nostalgic duo.
