Pros: Good acting, cute plot, chuckles, very good "moral" without being heavy. Cons: Nah - didn't see any prisoners in this movie.
I always love it when my guys will watch a chick flick with me! Everyone enjoyed Jennifer Garner's video last night, though it was not their favorite this year by a long shot. The acting was fine, the technical parts of the movie worked ...

Pros: Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo; Viva Gollum! Cons: "Big" knock off; too sentimental for its own good; predictable

Pros: Jennifer Garner, funny moments Cons: Ending is really rushed
Well, if you have read my other reviews on Alias, you know I love Jennifer Garner and of course, that is the primary reason I saw this film. This being a major chick flick, I'm usually not inclined to watch films like this, but when you have a magnetic ...

Pros: Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo's chemistry; "Thriller" dance scene; story; music Cons: a little far-fetched, some scenes are hard to buy
Another body switch movie involving the debut of new lead actress Jennifer Garner won me over, surprisingly. Movies that involve romance, comedy, and fairy dust hardly ever do anything for me, yet this movie is an exception due to Garner's star power and ...

Pros: It had a very good soundtrack, and thankfully wasn't a very long movie. Cons: No real humor, mediocre acting, tons of cliches, plenty of holes in logic.
It was only a matter of time before old ideas started showing back up in modern films. In the case of the new 13 Going on 30, the child-trapped-in-an-adult's-bo

Pros: Mark Ruffalo as Jen's sidekick; plenty of views of Garner in skimpy clothes Cons: The script is skimpy, too
Jennifer Garner might be sexy on "Alias," but she sure can't pick a movie script. "13 Going on 30" takes Jamie Lee Curtis' take in "Freaky Friday" and drains it of any humor or spontaneity. Garner spends most of her starring film debut ending up ...

Pros: Genuinely sweet without being nauseating. Garner is superb. Cons: Ending is too abrupt.
I admit to sitting down with some preconcieved notions before seeing some films. It was hard not to when confronted with "13 Going on 30", a romantic comedy that seemed to simply take "Big" and make it into a chick flick (worse yet, by the writers of ...

Pros: Jennifer Gardner makes a very believable 13 year old! Cons: a bit to predictable, but what average movie lately isn't?
Since my daughter and I missed it at the theater, we have been waiting (not) to patiently for it to hit the video stores. It was worth the wait. Jennifer Gardner is just to cute! And her best friend Matt is huggable! I want to be 13 again! Not! A ...

Pros: Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo Cons: Predictable, schmaltzy rom-com
Kids today are in such a hurry to grow up. Fortunately, not all of them are able to do so simply by wishing for it. Unlike 13-year old Jenna Rink who, desperate to have the adult life she envisions for herself, propels herself 17 years into her future ...

by norwegian_ , Aug 06 '04
Pros: LIGHT-HEARTED, VERY ENJOYABLE CHICK FLICK!! Cons: SLIGHTLY "CHEESY" IN PLACES.
Jenna Rink (Jennifer Garner) is a normal 13 year old who craves acceptance and recognition from the popular girls at school, the so-called "Six Chicks." Her best friend is the geeky boy next door, Matt (Mark Ruffalo), or Beaver, as he is cruelly called ...

Pros: Jennifer Garner, Warm fuzzies after seeing movie, fun time, great family movie Cons: only above-average script, movie seems to progress too fast in places
Introduction: Jennifer Garner absolutely shines in her first starring role in a movie. Playing Jenna Rink, a 13 year old girl suddenly thrust into the body of a 30 year old's, she captures the hearts of moviegoers and shows her multifaceted ...

Pros: Funny moments and great 80's music Cons: Predictable
So, my boyfriend and I were staring at the movie theater board--trying to figure out which movie to see. At the time we arrived, the movie we did wanted to see started 20 minutes before and the next movie was to show in the next 3 hours, so 13 Going On ...

Pros: fun remembrances of the 80s, the various emotions you will have watching it, cute story Cons: a little predictable, Jennifer Garner's character could have played 13 slightly better
Last night, “13 going on 30" came out. A friend and I decided to go see it. We heard it was about an 80s girl and thought it looked like a fun movie. I also have a teenager and I am in my early 30s, so thought maybe we could relate. But, she wasn’t ...

Pros: Very cute - there is a lesson in this Cons: None, we loved this movie
We all make our mistakes and if truth be told I'm sure that everyone would change somethings in their life. My 42 year old husband watched this with me and my 12 year old daughter. He started by stating that this had been done a million times and he ...

Pros: 80s Music and the Thriller Dance Sequence! Great laughs and acting from Garner and Ruffalo. Cons: Predictable
Jenna Rink (Jennifer Gardner) is the average 13 year old. It is 1987 and she wants to be cool. She sees a magazine story about being 㤦 and Fabulous and makes a wish on her birthday to be 30. Strangely enough, the wish comes true. She wakes ...
