B orrowing heavily from teen flicks of this and other eras, 13 Going on 30 lacks originality and yet is a surprisingly heartfelt film, well liked both by teenage girls and their moms in the audience with me. Although I fit neither category, I found the picture relaxing and thoroughly entertaining, especially because of performances by Jennifer Garner as the irrepressible Jenna and Mark Ruffalo as the quiet but sexy Matt. We first meet next-door neighbors and best friends Jenna (Christa B. Allen) and Matt (Sean Marquette) just before Jenna’s 13th birthday. At school, the popular girls, known as Six Chicks, bully and torment girls like Jenna as well as non-jock boys like Matt. Jenna wants badly to belong with the in-crowd, but Matt sees the girls’ meanness and tries to warn her. Children turning into teens go through this rough time — boys because they aren’t cool, and girls because they think they want a more developed body and the self-confidence that comes with being sexy. At her birthday party, Matt brings Jenna a present he made and some magi- cal wishing dust, but Jenna says hateful words to Matt that she can’t take back. Frustrated Jenna wishes to be “Thirty, Flirty and Thriving.” When she wakes up in an adult body with her barely teen sen- sibilities, Jenna doesn’t remember her wish. She doesn’t remember anything that’s happened since her 13th birthday. This plot synopsis is less than you’d know if you’d seen the trailer, but it’s all you need to know to figure out what comes next. Humor comes because she’s in a fantastic body she doesn’t know how to handle and because she has a boyfriend, who’s a jerk. She’s way out of her skill set as an editor for a New York fashion and lifestyle magazine. Her boss (Andy Serkis) needs her creative energy to beat the competition. Her co-worker and best friend, Lucy Wyman (Jane Greer), is a for- mer Six Chicks and just as competitive as ever. And her once best friend Matt isn’t even her friend anymore. They haven’t kept up, he explains. Maybe if Jenna had known Matt would turn out to look like Mark Ruffalo, she would have stayed in touch. Women like this actor. Why doesn’t someone smart write him a great leading man role instead of offering him the crumbs of situation comedies more suitable for the small screen? Ruffalo’s name in the credits is the major reason I went to see the film. A cautionary tale for young women, the film misses its chance to show how even well-balanced guys can be scarred by a careless remark during adolescence. Grown Jenna’s dilemma is that she dis- covers that she has become as mean spir- ited as the girls who manipulated her teen longings. Grown Matt’s dilemma is that because he internalized Jenna’s rejection as an adolescent, he set his aspirations lower than he deserved. A refreshing fantasy that offers an up- beat reason to mind your manners, 13 Going on 30 isn’t your typical movie hybrid. Sure it borrowed from Big, Freaky Friday and all the funny amnesia movies ever made, but the film leaves you feeling good. It’s a long time between movies that accomplish that. Now playing at Cinemark and Cinema World, this springtime movie gets my recommendation. ew
