I've watched this movie many times and i always enjoy it and laugh and tear with all the scenes; it's such a beautiful, sort of time travel movie.

It's about Jenna who's just like any 13 year old girl that feels like her life is hell even though she has Matt as her best friend by her side; so she wishes to become 30 and her wish gets granted but slowly she discovers that her older self is very different than the young her, so she tries to right her wrongs, and even as a 30 year old woman she's still acting as a teenager because she really is (Jennifer Garner did an excellent job in making us believe her as a teen in a woman's body).


Of course my favorite scenes are when she meets future Matt; i loved the first scene where she panicked and wanted a pillow and everything after that...                        and the Thriller dance was epic...




Oh and it was a huge change to see Andy Serkis in person, he's actually human !!!


I absolutely love Mark Ruffalo (i think this is the first movie i've seen for him; now i've seen half of his filmography), his role here is sweet just like in Just Like Heaven, i like him in a romantic lead and Jennifer Garner was perfect for the role, and i liked her clothes,,,, and ahh the Lisa Frank folders,,, i still have mine and i want the rest :(

oh and i just read that some of Matt and Jennifer's scenes were improvised.

Jenna: I love you, Matt. You're my best friend

Matt: ...Jenna, I've always loved you

so whenever I'm in a mood for a funny, fluffy and a romantic movie 13 Going on 30 is always one of the top options to choose from.
