10 Happy Endings To Improve Depressing Movies

10. My Girl

What Actually Happens

In sentimental coming-of-age drama My Girl, 11-year old Vada Sultenfuss confronts the realities of growing up as a girl: blossoming attraction, pubescent 'haemorrhaging', and a best friend being literally stung to death by bees. A devastated Vada breaks down at her pal's funeral, noting he can't see without his glasses, as our vision becomes equally blurry thanks to the welling tears.

What Should Happen

Macauley Culkin waltzes into the woods to find Vada's missing mood ring in full beekeeper's regalia, a wise precaution given he's "allergic to everything." The triumphant hero returns the missing gewgaw to his adolescent belle, as well as a big pot of honey.

They share another heartwarming, innocent kiss, and the execrable My Girl 2 never happens.
