Jennifer Garner glows like a rising star in 13 Going on 30, a girly version of the Tom Hanks classic Big. Jenna (Garner, Alias, Daredevil), a frustrated teenage girl, just wants to skip past all those annoying adolescent years and arrive at a glamorous adulthood--and thanks to some inexplicable wishing dust, she does. But once she reorients herself to a life as a high-end magazine editor with a sports-star boyfriend, she discovers that in the 17 years she skipped she became a not-so-nice person, including casting aside her best friend Matt (played as an adult by Mark Ruffalo, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). There's no question that Jenna will rediscover her lost innocence, but Garner rises above the lack of suspense. 13 Going on 30 floats along, buoyed by her goofy sweetness. Her lovely looks are made accessible by her unfettered silliness; it's a winning combination. --Bret Fetzer

 Happy message for whole family March 25, 2009
L. Young (A place in the world)
Enjoyable movie about appreciating your parents and valuing your true friends. Lead actress Jennifer Garner is genuinely likable, in a girl-next-door quality similar to Reese Witherspoon. Mark Ruffalo, as her best friend all grown up is also adorable. This comedy is fun for the whole family, not just thirteen year olds who want to be thirty.
Sweet & Fun March 18, 2009

This is a film that makes me happy!
I have seen it several times and I'm enjoying it just as much every time. I find it highly entertaining and so full of joy.
It is a sweet story, with lots of glamour and pretty people in the fashion industry and there are the good versus bad theme and with the happy ending - it is almost like a fairy tale!
Be careful about what you wish for - because your dreams may not be what you really want in life! If you make the right choices - then you can live happily ever after...
Jennifer Garner as Jenna is absolutely lovely!
Fabuloso! February 22, 2009

Oh those RomComs...how I secretly adore them. Well... maybe not so secretly.
In '13 going on 30', Jennifer Garner plays Jenna, a 13 year old girl stuck in a 30 year old body. When Jenna was 13, she made a wish to be `thirty and flirty' since she just saw that statement on her favorite magazine `Poise'. With a little help of some magic dust her friend Matt got her for her 13th birthday, her wish comes true and she's now a 30 year old woman. And it's not like it was in `BIG' with Tom Hanks. He was older the next day. She is actually older, 17 years later.
Within those 17 years, she's made a lot of money doing the job she loves, and she's lost a lot of friends, and has become, well, just a very bad person. And this is what I really enjoyed about the movie. Unlike `BIG', we get to see how her life has become and we get to enjoy seeing the surprise with her. Watching the mostly sweet 13 year old Jenna see how mean she has become was fun to watch. Also it was a lot of fun to see how people reacted to her now that she was this new nice girl. Also seeing a grown woman acting like she was 13 was pretty funny also. I actually enjoyed the scenes where she was drinking the non-virgin pina coladas. When she took out the piece of fruit and dropped it (and it landing into someone else's drink a floor below) actually made me laugh out loud.
Another thing that made me really like the movie was the 80's references. I love me some 80's. So when the movie starts off and has all the 80's music going with the old videos playing (like Rick Springfield's `Jessie's Girl'), I was having a good time. Also later at a party, Jenna starts a `Thriller' dance, and though it was awkward at first, it was still kind of fun to watch. And it sounded pretty good on the hard floor they were on.
The only real bad thing I would say with '13 going on 30' is that you have to throw the word `believable' out the door once you start watching it. There are many things in the movie that really shouldn't make since or should really be weird. Once she's in the future, in my opinion, she should remember everything since she's the same person. It's not like `Back to the Future' where there are two Marty McFly's. She's the one and only Jenna, but she doesn't. Also when she gets kissed by older guys, it's kinda gross if you think about it. Cause she's 13 ya know. Kinda icky, but I just don't think about it like that.
In the end, I would say definitely watch this movie if you like the RomComs and you haven't seen it. Guys, it's funny. Girls, it's sweet.
P.S. - In the 80's I was in single digits, but I loved Michael Jackson. He was the man back then. When `Thriller' came out it was the first tape (I had the record to) I owned. I remember moon walking (at least my version of it) in my red Michael Jackson jacket with zippers all over it, blue jeans, and cowboy boots. That tape was amazing.
Your best friend might be the love of your life! January 25, 2009
Maria Augusto (Santos, Brazil)
This is the kind of movie that makes you start dancing around your room after the "THE END"! It is a very pleasant romantic comedy where a 13 year girl wishes to be an experienced, beautiful and modern 30 year woman. It happens as her school colleagues make fun of her and she thinks something is wrong and a dramatic change is necessary! Unfortunately, she doesn't see in front of her eyes a true friend who really loves her, the plump but cute neighbour Matt. Magically, she wakes up a grown up woman. The funniest side of the plot is that even being 30, Jenna (Jennifer Garner) continues with her lovely childlike spirit! She has everything she has ever wished, a fashionable job, a handsome boyfriend,lots of clothes, make-up and shoes! Later she discovers that without team spirit, friendship and love, nothing really matters. So, she goes in search of his old friend, now a handsome photographer, another lovely role made for a nice actor like Mark Ruffalo! The plot is smartly crafted going smoothly up to the very end, where all the pieces fit. Take a look and be happy! Love follows you all the time even when you are not looking at it!

Jenna (Jennifer Garner) is an awkward girl who is picked on by her classmates and she just wants to grow up and forget this part of her life. At her 13th birthday party she wishes she could become popular and 30 years old. The next day she awakens to find herself 17 years older and living in New York City. She gets in touch with her best friend, Matt (Mark Ruffalo), who lived next door to her when she was 13. He tells her what happened in the past 17 years and she decides she wants to go back. She finds being 30 is no real fun.
Jennifer Garner as Jenna is perfect but the story is not new. We saw it in "Big" and in "Peggy Sue Got Married" but Garner gives such a winning performance that we forgot the hackneyed idea on what the script is based. This is a sweet movie and not much more than that. There are some very funny moments nonetheless. It seems always easy to predict what happens in romantic comedies and with this it is that much easier because we have seen it before. It also seems that the message of the movie is that a lack of sophisticating brings success but that did not happen here. Even the direction falls flat. The only good thing is Jennifer Garner.
