    Storyline

    Edit
    After total humiliation at her thirteenth birthday party, Jenna Rink wants to just hide until she's thirty. Thanks to some wishing dust, Jenna's prayer has been answered. With a knockout body, a dream apartment, a fabulous wardrobe, an athlete boyfriend, a dream job, and superstar friends, this can't be a better life. Unfortunately, Jenna realizes that this is not what she wanted. The only one that she needs is her childhood best friend, Matt, a boy that she thought destroyed her party. But when she finds him, he's a grown up, and not the same person that she knew. —popdivaprincess3000

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Mark 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.
    • Goofs
      Immediately 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."
    • Quotes

      Jenna: You want to know a secret?

      Matt: Yeah.

      Jenna: You're the sweetest guy I've ever met.

    • Crazy credits
      As 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.

    Fun and frolicky
    In "13 Going On 30" Garner is a 13 year old with a guy best friend and an impossible dream of becoming one of her school's "in" crowd. She pulls a "Rip Van Winkle" and suddenly finds herself 15 years older, with boobs, and the editor of a glitz and glam NYC femme fashion magazine. The rest is a fun frolic about coming to grips with what is important in life...what's steak and what's just so much sizzle. Garner and Ruffalo work well as the leads in this good old family values bop flick which keeps the momentum up 'til the very warm and fuzzy end. An unabashed chick flick, "13 Going On 30" should be an enjoyable watch for teen females and anyone in the mood for a romcom who can still remember what it's like to be 13 going on 30. (B-)
