52 going on 30 - I WISH! - 13 going on 30 much more likely!

by bonnieleigh , Aug 19 '04
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 ...

by jarvococker , Apr 26 '04
Pros: Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo; Viva Gollum!
Cons: "Big" knock off; too sentimental for its own good; predictable
In 13 GOING ON 30, thirteen year old Jenna Rink miraculously jumps the space time continuim and lands as her future thirty year old incarnation. An adolescent trapped in Jennifer Garner's sinewy body (A fact not lost on pic's producers--the "Alias" star ...

"Alias" Star Flips the Script

by nikefreak Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 03 '04
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 ...

13 Going on 30

by nick9211 , Apr 30 '04
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 ...

A Poorly Done Rehash of "Big" and a Waste of Time

by silentrascal , Apr 25 '04
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 dy story is reintroduced to moviegoers, this time starring "Alias" actress Jennifer ...

Movie goes on forever

by SKAD13 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 20 '04
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 ...

The Year's Best Date Movie - Early DVD Review

by moviefan15 , Aug 01 '04
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 ...

Jennifer Gardner is 13 again!

by mandik19 , Aug 05 '04
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 ...

Garner Drops Her Alias For 13 Going On 30

by crckerjack , May 09 '04
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 ...

MOVE OVER TOM HANKS, THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN!

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 ...

Jennifer Garner is BRILLIANT in good movie. (Updated)

by ariellyn , Apr 25 '04
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 ...

Cute Movie

by jaiquest , Apr 28 '04
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 ...

Feel good movie..

by momofdaughters , Apr 24 '04
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 ...

If I would have knew now then things would have been different

by tharris70 , Aug 08 '04
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 ...

Could This Movie Be Any Cuter??

by mookdancer , Jun 28 '04
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 ...
