13 Going on 30

Growing up is hard – especially if you aren't part of the cool group and lack any form of confidence and are struggling to find an identity. This is just the case for Jenna – a 13 year old in 1987 that is easily embarrassed by her parents and best friend Mattie, and just wants to be liked by the cool kids.

At her 13th birthday party, the mean kids that Jenna so badly wants to be friends with play a mean trick on her. They get her to wait in a closet to play 7 minutes in heaven, as they sneak out and leave her alone on her birthday with no one but Mattie. She just wants to become that confident woman she knows is somewhere inside of her – but she feels she has to wait for adulthood to get to her.

Then Jenna makes a wish – a wish to skip years and years and fast forward ahead to her life at thirty, flirty, and thriving. And much to her surprise... her wish comes true.

Jenna wakes up in 2004, at the age of 30, to a life she would have never expected. She knows it's her body and her life – but its not her. She has changed so much and doesn't like the rotten, selfish person that she has become. What's worse is that her and ex-best friend Mattie haven't even seen each other since high school, and they are no where near to being friends anymore.

Jenna got everything she wanted – a 30 year old body and a heck of a lot of confidence. But what she discovers at the young age of 13, is that she didn't become who she wanted to – she chose a life without her parents, her closest friends, and sold out who she truly was. Her life has little meaning now – and even though she's falling for 30 yr old Mattie – now Matt – he's engaged to be married and it's just too late.

Jenna finally discovered what matters the most in life, but is it too late to get it back?

I love this movie and the messages that it presents to its audience. I thought Jennifer Garner was a brilliant actress in this movie – although some critics said that at times she was too adult-like to be a 13 year old. The best part about this movie is that it reminds us to slow down in our own lives and appreciate the things that do matter to us, as it can be so easy to forget in this day and age.

13 going on 30 reminds us that it's not about how confident we are, how old we are, how successful we are, or how beautiful we are – but about who we are.
