Plot: Howard Zieff directed this comedy-drama about the emotional awakening of a young girl in a small Pennsylvania town during the summer of 1972. Anna Chlumsky plays eleven-year-old Vada, a quiet child living with her widowed father Harry Dultenfuss (Dan Aykroyd), a local mortician who prepares bodies in his basement. Vada feels responsible for the death of her mother, who died giving birth to her, and lives in an emotional cocoon, her only friend being a personable local boy, Thomas J. Sennett (Macauly Culkin), who suffers from allergies. Like Vada, Harry keeps to himself, until a freelance make-up artist, Shelly DeVoto (Jamie Lee Curtis), comes to town and gets a job working with Harry. Shelly and Harry fall in love and Vada feels threatened by her presence. But then a personal tragedy forces Vada to come out of her emotional shell. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

Memories of my childhood

This movie is unforgettable. I watched it a million times during my childhood. I loved Vada so much that I used to run a fansite about Anna Chlumsky and I even had a mood ring just like hers. OMG!!! It's been and will always be THE MOVIE! LOLOLOLOL I can't believe I found this DVD on Amazon, because it is no longer available in Brazil.

Nice little film...
Added 5/12/2009

A nice little film that deals seriously with childhood loss. Too bad Sony chose to release this in an abridged pan and scan. But hey, if you don't care about all that Sony cut out of the film, buy it.

I had ordered a movie for my daughter and we recieved the movie case only no movie. I called customer service let them know my issue and I recieved a new movie in 2 days at no charge. I have ordered from here before and this was my only problem. My daughter loves this movie and I thank amazon for the quick replacement.

Coming-of-age story for girls
Added 9/27/2008

I remember bawling myself silly over this movie as a child. When I was given it as a gift and watched it, guess what? More bawling. And yet I was still truly touched by the magic and heart of this moving little story as well as its quirkiness and observations of human lives. This is the tale of a young girl who of all things has grown up in the home of a funeral director... which means lots of dead bodies in the basement. Thus is the setting of a quirky and moving little story with plenty of wonderful acting and great humor. It must be watched with tissues, if you are anything like me, but it is worth it.

Brilliant!!

This is probably my favourite movie of all time. It came out when I was a kid, and I saw it then as a funny, slightly sad movie about a girl and her best friend. Now I own it again as an adult and can view it in a whole new light, as an insightful, deep movie with a lot more complexity than I ever realised as a child! While we outgrow most of our favourite childhood movies as we get older, I feel like this movie 'grew up with me' in a way. A must-see!!
