    "This film has it's little quirks that make me not hate the film. Secretly I just enjoy Mark Ruffalo and the whole concept of getting a second chance, changing things for the better, getting a glimpse into the future at what could be and making it what you want it to be. Yeah, the film's a bit cheesy and it's your typical romantic comedy but I really liked the whole 80's element. I didn't really like Jennifer Garner in the film. Her doe-eyed, shocked at everything, act was fitting I suppose but I felt that it got a little tired. Romantic comedies are cruel and give women all over the world false hope. But we can't resist the Whitney Houston montague with the make up and fake eyelashes. And who wants to miss out on a thriller imitation done by Jenna and Matty just like the good ol' days?Some women can resist romantic comedies...I struggle...I'll admit it. I get sucked in. I don't necessarily enjoy them but I do always want to see them. " [More]

    "By Tricia Olszewski The line-dance scene is rarely a good idea. The one in 13 Going on 30, Jennifer Garner’s vagina version of Big, is no exception: At a swank present-day publicity bash for a Manhattan women’s magazine, our not-a-girl-not-yet-a-woman editor heroine, Jenna, tries to get the party started by requesting that the DJ replace his antiseptic house beats with “Thriller.” In tottering heels, a kicky dress, and makeup reminiscent of MJ’s finest era, Jenna rushes the dance floor and earnestly begins performing the clawing, head-dipping, completely awkward monster mash from her fave video. Slowly, others join her, until all the hip revelers are looking just as stupid/happy as can be. Taken out of context—the clip is being used to promote the film—the scene is nothing less than squirm-inducing. Within the movie, it’s not much better, yet because of the irresistible ebullience of Garner’s Jenna, it’s forgivable. So, ... " [More]

    "13 Going On 30—I watched this because my niece said it was one of her favourite movies of the year. I had heard it described more than once as the female version of Tom Hank’s Big, which is a wonderful movie about a young boy who suddenly pops into a grown-up body, has hilarious adventures, and uses his youth to design some great toys for a toy company. If you watch 13 Going On 30 in this erroneous context, it is a failure. If you watch the movie in its own right, it is fairly good and has something valuable to say. Thirteen-year old Jenna Rink (Christa B. Allen) wants desperately to be part of the in-crowd of snotty girls at her school, and she rejects the friendship of the friendly, chubby guy next door as part of her ambitious plan. When she flashes forward to herself at 30 (Jennifer Garner), she slowly realizes that she is a nasty, backstabbing, ambitious career bitch. To figure things " [More]
