Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMark Ruffalo's first scene was the Michael Jackson: Thriller (1983) sequence. He was terrified of doing it, but Jennifer Garner's enthusiasm was "very infectious". Andy Serkis had to rehearse the scene separately from everybody else, because he was in London at the time.
- GoofsImmediately after Jenna presents her new magazine design, Richard hugs her and tells the group they will present it to corporate "tomorrow morning." His lips clearly say "Friday morning."
- Crazy creditsAs you near the end of the credits, the song "Love is a Battlefield" blends to include the audio of the girls singing along during their sleepover.

Featured review
For the Kid in All of Us
Some actors are just born to play certain roles. Though I've never been the biggest Jennifer Garner fan over the years, she is beyond perfect for the role of Jenna Rink in 13 Going on 30. Conveying the perfect amount of innocence, charm, and earnestness, the joy of seeing Garner play a 13 year old trapped in the body and life of a 30 year old woman is unparalleled. I love the nostalgic feeling of the film, even though I didn't grow up when Jenna did, and the overwhelming feeling of 'needing to remember what used to be good'. Mark Ruffalo is an instantly likable and relatable love interest for Garner, and they have remarkable chemistry. We've seen this type of story before, but it's all in the execution, and they nailed it here.
