13 Going on 30 Reviews

The Way We Were, LOL!

If you are a romantic type and you don't mind lightweight movies, you might enjoy this lighthearted romantic comedy about true feelings and nostalgia of slumber parties. Mrs. Garner playing a 13 year-old (as mind age) is sort of funny. Nicely unpretentious. Sort of underrated, IMHO.

Jennifer Garner does a great job of portraying the wide-eyed innocence of a child in this romantic comedy that I love to watch over and over again. It's a great romantic comedy, one of the cuter/sweeter ones out there, and while sure, it doesn't add anything new to the genre and follows the standard romantic comedy formula, there is just something about it that sucks you in, and brings you back for more.

The pairing of Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo was a good choice, the writing is good, the acting is good, there is some great classic music in the film, and I love the "Big"-type movie in a newer age, and with a girl.

An average movie

I wasn't expecting much from this flick and indeed, it was nothing great. I mean, the main issue with this flick is that it is based on a very old formula. Actually, if they added something new or interesting, I would have been more intriguing but unfortunately it wasn't meant to be. Jennifer Garner was allright but I can't say she blew me away whatsoever. Eventually, the most redeaming feature was Mark Ruffalo who gave, as usual, a dependable performance. Eventually, it is a rather harmless but still very average romantic comedy and it is not really worth a look.

Jennifer Garner's performance is super quirky and cute and cool and great. Almost everything about this film is feel-good! Mark Ruffalo is adorable, both as a kid and an adult. The Thriller dance scene is funny and quite entertaining. And I absolutelo love the ending: tear-jerky and comedic! :)

Not Bad.

I highly enjoyed this film. It was good for a laugh or two, and it had a pretty decent story, along with a great cast. They pulled it off well. I don't think "13 Going 30" is a great film, nor even a very good film, but I recommend it to anyone that is looking for a quick film, and not a masterpiece.

I'm feeling some deja vu here except with a woman rather then a man. When Tom Hanks did this with Big, it could actually be funny at times and Tom Hanks pulled it off. With Jennifer Garner it was just embarrassing and completely unbelievable. Watching her trying to act like a 13 year old inside a 30 year olds body was beyond aggravating.
Basically, it's been done before and it shouldn't have been done again.
