Hello. Here is today's movie. I hope you like it and watch it tonight.
13 GOING ON 30
Jenna Rink is an “uncool” girl having her 13th birthday on
May 26, 1987. [1:46 to 12:49] Jenna
wants to look like the models in Poise magazine. She gets the cool ‘six chick’
group to come to her party by agreeing to do a school assignment for them. Her
nerdy, overweight friend Matt comes to the party and gives her a doll ‘dream
house’ that he built for her and sprinkles ‘wishing dust’ on it. The six chicks
show up at the party with some boys, including the hunk Chris Grandy, who Jenna has a crush on. They play ‘Seven
minutes in heaven’, but everyone except Matt
leaves while Jenna is in the closet. She is embarrassed by this and sits
in the closet and knocks some of the ‘wishing dust’ off the doll house onto her
as she wishes to be “thirty, flirty and thriving’. The next thing she knows,
she wakes up in her New York apartment and she’s thirty. Her best friend Lucy
(who’s later revealed to have been ‘Tom-Tom’ the leader of the chick six)
drives her to their jobs, as editors at Poise magazine. Jenna
learns Poise has been scooped by their rival Sparkle for the last seven months. She
finds Matt and learns they’ve been estranged since high school. Poise’s promotional party is crashing until Jenna
revives it with 80’s tunes that get everyone dancing. Jenna has to learn how to do her job and finds out that Matt is
engaged, while she has a full time boyfriend, who she does not like. She gets
close to a young girl in her apartment building and her friends. Jenna learns
she had been having an affair with a married man and that Lucy is putting
together her own idea for a redesign of the magazine. Jenna realizes that she
hates her life. She goes back home and reconnects with her parents. She hires
Matt to help her with her redesign
project. The magazine’s senior editor, Richard likes her redesign idea. Then
everything crashes. Poise is to be shut down because her photos from
the redesign plan ended up in Sparkle. Lucy learned that Jenna was the one who
had been feeding stuff to Sparkle. Lucy used this knowledge to con Matt into
signing the rights to the redesign photos over to her and she takes them to Sparkle as its new editor. Jenna meets
Chris Grandy, who’s now a cabbie and goes to Matt’s house on his wedding day.
He admits he loves her, but can’t change the past. He gives her the dream doll
house. Some of the ‘wishing dust’ falls on her as she wishes to be 13
again. Jenna is back in the closet.
She charges out and kisses Matt and tosses the six chicks. We jump ahead to
Jenna and Matt’s wedding.
This is a funny female version of
Big. Jennifer Garner does a fantastic job of portraying a 13 year old in a grown
up world. Her out of touch behavior help make this a very funny movie.
