A girl who's sick of the social strictures of junior high is transformed into a grownup overnight. In this feel-good fairy tale, teenager Jenna wants a boyfriend, and when she's unable to find one, she fantasizes about being a well-adjusted adult. Suddenly, her secret desire becomes a reality, and she is transformed into a 30-year-old, but adulthood, with its own set of male-female challenges, isn't as easy as it looks.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
the_mora_family We all have seen many body swap movies and yet this one is by far my favorite one of all times. This character have an amazing charisma and fun to watch. I am now in my 40's and this is still my favorite fun movie. When I want to watch something relaxing that will transport myself to another place this is always my first choice.
polkkev First know this: One of my favorite movies is "No Country For Old Men." Now "13 Going on 30" is a favorite too. I like both movies because they send powerful messages. I found this movie while searching for "Thriller" on YouTube. I knew my wife would love it, so we watched it together. I hit the mark, she loved it. HOWEVER, I really loved it too. So much so that I watched it again. 13 going on 30 has a simple story arch that is very well written, directed and acted. And I love simple done well. But then there's the message. This movie came out in 2004, but it's talking right at us in 2018 and beyond. I won't spoil the movie by writing the message here, but know that the writers were sending us a stern message in a sweet movie. The casting and acting are excellent and are spot on with the message.
destinylives52 A teen-aged girl who is part of the "out crowd" makes a wish that she is already 30-years-old and living a fabulous life; and with the help of some magic dust, it happens. She wakes up as an adult (played by Jennifer Garner) living in an expensive apartment in Manhattan, with a high-paying job in a magazine, and she has a boyfriend who is a famous, popular, hockey player. Oh, and she still has the mind of a 13-year-old! Garner slowly realizes that her dream life is not what she thought it would be — the cost of getting all these things she considers fabulous is that she became a "mean girl" and she alienated the boy who would grow up to be the man she still loves (played by Mark Ruffalo). As hard as Garner tries to make things right, what she has done in the past is done, and people have moved on and she'll have to suffer the consequences of her actions. But…there may yet be one small hope of altering her present life. Although the premise of "13 Going On 30" is far from original, Jennifer Garner's performance and chemistry with Ruffalo make this an enjoyable rom/com. We all know Garner is a natural at drama, but here she also shows how adept she is at comedy. My most memorable, movie moment of "13 Going On 30" is the scene when Garner and Ruffalo start doing the Michael Jackson "Thriller" dance!Mannysmemorablemoviemoments
brkc This is the perfect late night film for when your partner is snoring and you want nothing more but to relax with a fantasy chick flick that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside and wanting your own magical love story. Well in this you find it and more. Jenna Rink wants nothing more than to be thirty, flirty and thriving, however when she gets her wish, with a little help from her best friend Matty, she discovers that the girls in the magazines are all they're cracked up to be... With a combination of wild dreams, fantasy, comedy and of course it's fairytale love story, this film is sure to make you feel girlie and all mushy without fail. I hope you love it as much as me :) x
