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!!
