Not sure what the critics were so hung up about on this. Because, like many agree, I think this's a heartfelt classic. Anna Chlumsky stars as intelligent and quirky Vada. She lives with her dad (Dan Ankroyed) who doesn't understand her so, as a consequence often ignores her.
Most of the film centers around her hanging out with her friend (Macaulay Caulkin) who's "allergic to everything". They ride bikes and try to figure out life at such a young age. I think it's adorable. It's kids being kids and I think it's a pretty good depiction of that.
The dialogue is funny. It's pretty clever at times. The scenes where they're just being kids were the best.
The paving's slow; almost relaxing like the summer it's set in.
I don't really have much to say other than it's a great, heartwarming film. The critics didn't think much, but for what it is, it's quite the charmer. Anna Chlumsky really Carrie's this film. She's a great lead. Id say check it out if you get the chance.
