13 Going on 30

 

After Jenna Rink's 13th birthday party where her friend Lucy plays a cruel prank on her, she promptly makes a wish that she could skip adolescence and be 30. With the help of some... more...wish dust given to her by her unpopular best friend Matty, her wish comes true. She wakes up to find that her 13-year-old self is now inhabiting the body--and life--of a 30-year-old, high-powered, New York magazine editor. Frightened by her new adult life, Jenna (Jennifer Garner) seeks the help of Matty (Mark Ruffalo), but he hasn't spoken to her since high school. Unfortunately, as she uncovers the details of the time she skipped, she learns that perhaps she hasn't made the best decisions. Similar to the 1988 Tom Hanks vehicle BIG, 13 GOING ON 30 benefits from the undeniable appeal of Garner, who amusingly exudes the awkwardness and energy of a teenager. Meanwhile copious '80s pop culture references, an energetic soundtrack, and vibrant colors provide instant, foolproof nostalgia. Director Gary Winick (TADPOLE) has crafted an undeniably fun picture for any age or gender.

Full review
This movie involves a 13 year old girl whose wish to become 30 comes true. It is an amazing story. Jennifer Garner is perfect for this roll and Mark Ruffalo is equally perfect. Watching this the first time I was enthralled. Being a 13 year old girl once, I too, wished to be older. Getting your wish isn't always as great as it seems. There is something to waiting and learning lessons. I loved the sweetness and innocence of this movie. It is one that I can watch with my young daughter and not be embarrassed. I have recommended it to all my young cousins and they all love it too. All ages can relate. It is definitely a movie you will want to watch over and over and over.
