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. 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.

    • Predictable body swap comedy that stays stuck in adolescence and never matures into the comedy it promised to be.

      excellent 'chick flick'

      curled up on the sofa with a glass of wine and grinned for nearly 2 hours! Real 'feel-good' movie.

    Top 10 Julia Roberts

    • 15 Jul 2009

    Mystic Pizza (1988) Julia Roberts wasn’t the only movie star whose career was kick started by Mystic Pizza: Matt Damon made his film debut in the romantic comedy – his best bud Ben Affleck also auditioned but missed out on the role. Roberts was just 20 years-old when she played Daisy Arujo in a story about three young women working in a pizza palour. She may have been fresh-faced and full of innocence but Roberts was going places as the young actress who grabbed Hollywood’s... Read more
