Editorial Review:
ON HER 13TH BIRTHDAY, JENNA'S ONLY WISH IS TO GET OLDER & FAST. WHEN SHE WAKES UP THE NEXT MORNING, SHE'S 30 YEARS OLD, A SUCCESSFUL MAGAZINE EDITOR WITH A LIVE-IN BOYFRIEND! JENNATRACKS DOWN MATT(HER BEST FRIEND WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER) TO TRY & FIGURE OUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED.
Description of 13 Going On 30 (Special Edition):
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
13 Going On 30 (Special Edition) Reviews:
great movie 
2009-10-23 - both my wife and i enjoy this movie.
very light hearted..
not really a slap your knee comedy but a wholesome fun movie..
Very good movie. 
2009-09-27 - For all it's a chick-flick, it's a very well-done movie with stellar actors, intelligently-written characters, and with not an entirely typical plot, so that's a win-win. I did in fact watch this before buying it, so I would rent it first, for anyone under 25, it's funny and engaging, for anyone approaching or in the age of 30 themselves, there are a couple trips down memory lane that'll bring back a bucket-load of nostalgia. Dancing the thriller. "Burning down the house" by the Talking Heads. The hair, wow, the hair. I'm not around thirty, so all I can do is look at it like anyone who wasn't from that decade looks at it, but hey, even I appreciate it in my own, post-modern, youthful, masculine way. It must be awesome, right? Anyway, the movie is. Rent it, and if you like it, buy it, it pays for itself after the first few watches.
Fun movie with a great message
2009-09-21 - I loved this movie. Great acting and a great message about how choices we make in life impact us.
Happy message for whole family
2009-03-25 - 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
2009-03-18 - 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!
