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.
