The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

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.

What if you made a mistake that you wish you could take back and change? That question is explored in 13 Going on 30.The movie is about a young girl named Jenna who wishes she was 30 and it comes true. She wakes up in a New York City apartment and finds out that she works for a magazine company. When she visits her old friend, Matt, things have changed. He's engaged and hasn't seen her since high school. Jenna goes on a journey to figure out her life and who she truly. I won't elaborate anymore on the plot because I don't want to spoil anything.I praise the casting. Jennifer Garner was fabulous in the role, which added a lot of charm to the performance. It's the chick flick equivalent of Big with Tom Hanks. This fantasy movie is enjoyable throughout and put a huge smile on my face. I got the DVD as a present and I thank my mother for getting it for me because this was a great movie. If you have 90 minutes to spare and you like the movie Big, then this is for you!

13 Going on 30 (2004): Dir: Gary Winick / Cast: Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo, Judy Greer, Kathy Baker, Andy Serkis: Amusing romantic comedy about growing up too fast. It stars Jennifer Garner who at thirteen wished she could be thirty because of an embarrassing incident at her birthday party. She was attempting to fit in with the popular yet nasty crowd. The screenplay suggests that magic dust is used to turn her thirty but thankfully it doesn't stoop to such juvenile gestures. At thirty she works for Poise magazine and her confusion and awkwardness give her a sense that perhaps being thirteen wasn't so bad. Despite its predictable structure director Gary Winick does a fantastic job. That has much to do with the casting of two effective leads that present sincerity. Jennifer Garner is absolutely hilarious playing a thirteen year old wonderfully yet she tries desperately to make her situation better. Mark Ruffalo as her childhood friend now photographer adds to the chemistry. He is confused at her dilemma but he is the only one she can turn to. Both survive romantic clichés while Judy Greer and Kathy Baker are subdued within flat supporting roles. Finally there is a wasted performance by Andy Serkis who isn't exactly winning awards playing Garner's boss either. Its lessons regards appreciating life and not taking for granted what you have at any age. Score: 7 / 10
