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 re-orients 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

4.0 out of 5 stars "Thirty and flirting and thriving", 11 Aug 2005
By Sebastian Fernandez (Tampa, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This is one of those movies that serve purely as entertainment and not much else. And of course, there is nothing wrong with that, as long as you are not expecting to find innovative ideas or earth shattering developments in the story. I guess my message is, if you are just seeking to spend a couple of hours relaxed and having fun, this is the film for you.

Jenna (Gardner) is a teenager that is going through a crisis similar to the one most kids at her age have to endure; she wants to be cool and belong to the elite group known as "Six Chicks". She thinks that if she was thirty she would not have these problems, so on her thirteenth birthday she wishes to be of that age. Lo and behold, her wish comes true. I am sure this idea sounds familiar to most of you, since it has been used time and again with different variations, like grandfather and grandson or mother and daughter exchanging bodies, a woman waking up in a male body, etc. In this case there is no body swap, but Jenna just wakes up seventeen years later.

Even though at first she is confused, she quickly realizes that she has everything she wished for when she was a kid, but now the question is: Is this really what she was looking for? As you can see, there are not a lot of original ideas, but the creators were successful in introducing special situations that make us laugh almost continuously during the presentation. Also, Jennifer Gardner, who effectively portraits a ruthless agent in the series "Alias", shows that she can also excel on the other extreme, with a sweet and naïve character.

The only question I am not sure I have an answer for yet is: Would I watch this movie again? At this point in time I would say maybe, and I think that means that I would not plan on revisiting it, but if I came across it on cable I would probably stop and watch for a while. In my mind guess this means that it is enjoyable enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars 13 Going On 30, 25 Jun 2006
By Dave Kraven (Burbage, UK) - See all my reviews
  
Knowing that she can do action and plenty of it from the hit TV spy series Alias, we see Jennifer Garner tackling another genre in this sprightly gratifying romantic comedy that's obviously inspired by one of Tom Hanks' smash hits in which she plays a 13-year-old who wishes she was 30 and wakes up the next morning to find out that she is! Although it's Big with flashy lip-gloss, it's incredibly captivating with Garner on top form along with a stunning cast which includes a charming Mark Ruffalo, bitchy Judy Greer and LOTR's Andy Serkis, picturesque visuals and a romantic sub-plot that's convincingly dreamy between the two leads.

5.0 out of 5 stars omg!, 28 Jul 2006
i absolutely love this film. There is something about it that makes me tingle. It's great and I just can't get enough of the 80's songs. I think Jenifer Garner played the part just right getting the habits of a 13 year old girl spot on.
