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 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.

Meanwhile copious '80s pop culture references, an energetic soundtrack, and vibrant colors provide instant, foolproof nostalgia. Director Gary Winick (TADPOLE) has...

Pros Great acting jobs by Garner and Ruffalo, nose jobs, Thriller, parent-child bonding.
Cons Unnecessary subplots and a moral conundrum.
Recommended it? Yes

You can call it roleplaying, you can call it switcheroo, you can call it the memory complex, but whatever it is, it's huge. It is becoming its own genre.

Basically, these films all have one thing in common. At least one character ends up having to be something that he/she is "not". This... Read full review »

(05/07/2004, p.9E, Claudia Puig): "Talented at physical comedy, Garner has the all-elbows-and-knees feel of an adolescent and effectively conveys a goofy innocence."
