Review of 13 Going on 30 (2004) by Muffin M — 07 Mar 2014
In Australia this is known as Suddenly 30.
As Jenna celebrates her 13th birthday, all she dreams about is to be popular, hang out with the cool kids and date the cutest boy in school. During her birthday party, she goes into a closet for the teenage game "seven minutes in heaven," which turns out to be the worst seven minutes of her life. Sitting alone in the darkness hoping to be joined by the boy of her dreams, she waits in vain as no one comes in. Humiliated, she refuses to come out and wishes for everything she doesn't have. When she finally emerges she gets the surprise of her life. She's popular, beautiful, successful... and only five days away from her 30th birthday.
Stars Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo, Judy Greer, Andy Serkis, Kathy Baker, Phil Reeves, Samuel Ball, Macia de Bonis and Christa B. Allen.
Directed by Gary Winick.
