When first seeing this film, you might be reminded of the classic '80s comedy, "Big" starring Tom Hanks. Though this film resembles the Hanks hit, it does carry a lot of it's own special trademarks and moments, that 'Big' didn't. You might even consider it, a female version of that movie.
All Jenna wants is to be 30. At 13, she finds herself awkward, gawky and not fitting in with the "cool crowd". Her best friend Matty, builds her a dream house and sprinkles magic dust all over it, so that her biggest wish can come true. And, it does. On the night of her 13th birthday, she wakes up the next morning...30.
The film, shows how one wish, can make a whole lot happen. How the things you thought you wanted, in the end maybe aren't what you wanted at all.
I fall in love with this movie every time I see it. I love the film, 'Big', yet in some ways this movie surpasses it in some ways. It's more emotional, more of a chick flick, and quite funny.
Entertaining, full of heart, and some outstanding acting by Jennifer Garner and especially Judy Greer, this film makes you crave for more! It's a perfect film, with absolutely nothing offensive, nothing stupid, and best of all, it's well written! I definitely recommend this film to all ages. Even under 13! :)
