Jamie Lee Curtis Doesn’t Get the Love She Deserves for This Devastating Coming-of-Age Cult Classic

Jamie Lee Curtis has done a little bit of everything in her acting career, with horror and comedy being among her biggest hits. She's taken on Michael Myers with a knife, axe, and arson in the Halloween series. She's rocked out with a guitar solo in Freaky Friday. But what is a more underrated performance she's done? Look no further than the coming-of-age film, My Girl, a tearjerker with a heartfelt message, where Curtis plays someone who helps to make it a little easier to deal with the uneasy feelings about death. Without the extreme premises of Curtis’ more famous projects, My Girl lets her create a compelling performance out of the ordinary.
