This one definitely snuck up on us, but MAN, what a banger!! Especially during such odd times, this was such a pure shot of joy & coming-of-age goodness. Any of you see this when it first came out??

13 Going on 30 Watchalong

Comments

I love this movie, Jennifer Garner does such a great job of acting 13 without going way too young with her performance, like I feel like a lot of adult actors do when they have to act like kids.

This is one of my favourite pick-me-up movies. The soundtrack is so great. Matt is still one of my dream boyfriends, only topped by his character in Just Like Heaven - if you guys haven’t seen it I strongly recommend it! Judy Greer and Andy Serkis are so perfect in their roles. The assistant also plays Amanda Seyfried’s assistant in Letters to Juliet, one of my all-time faves. I feel like there are two types of slumber parties - the ones more like the movies where the girls are all in cute/sexy pjs, doing beauty regimes and stuff, and the ones I actually experienced which were more like the one in this movie. Making silly costumes, dancing to fun songs and watching horror movies all night. Just being kids. Different times.

Love this movie, such a comfort film for me, always great to see Judy Greer, she's always good. Also fun fact in Australia this movie is called Suddenly 30

Such a comfort movie! I remember I became obsessed with Razzles as a kid because of this movie lol

I totally saw this when it first came out, and it's such a heart-warming rewatch. I cried when she crawled into bed with her parents. It was so wholesome! I was a big far of Mark Ruffalo's rom-com era, and you should definitely check out "Just Like Heaven" too. Jennifer Garner is perfect at playing the 13-year-old Jenna. All the supporting cast is fabulous, and even the naturally-cringe moments were done well. So much fun! Thanks!!

definitely a favourite of mine, I was actually a high school grad class of 2004 so was right in the best age when it came out to really enjoy this, all of it was so charming. I agree with you John about Matt not signing over his photos, that really wasn't in character as what it seemed anyways. Also though at the end it was weird that they waited until 30 to get married being together since 13, feels kinda unbelievable cause they would def want to be married sooner I think.

Jennifer was very popular at this time kicking ass as a spy on the tv show Alias. She made this movie during her hiatus. She learned kick boxing for the show and I believe that got her the attention to play Elektra where she met Ben. She really loved kick boxing so much that she continued it as her exercise routine.

I love this film, but it is nothing original. It’s just the female version of Big. Highly recommend reacting to Big. Tom Hanks stars as the 30 year old version of a kid that wishes to be an adult. It was also Tom’s first Oscar nomination for Best Actor.

Also, if you want to see a unique film dealing with time, highly recommend Frequency (2000) starring Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel. Also, the film has a little something in it for everyone and it’s an emotional ride. Highly recommend it. :)

Ryan Towell

highly recommend Frequency.. One of my favorites. Also stars Shawn Doyle, Noah Emmerich, Elzabeth \Mitchell and the late great Andre Braugher.. It's so good.

This and Peppermint are my favorite Jennifer Garner films. if you guys haven't seen Peppermint, I think you guys would enjoy it. She's basically becomes like a female Punisher in LA. She's great in it. Such a BA

Dustin Duvall

04 also. We definitely need to get them to react to more late 90s early 00s rom coms and r rated comedies.

Zane Platt

Yeah, don't agree at all. This is a much more heartfelt, mature movie than Big. Big is an out and out comedy.

Zane Platt

100% agree about the movie and Matt. I appreciate that he is just a normal, kind hearted person rather than the usual cliche, model looking love interest we tend to see.

Jules R

yes, 04 has some great classic movies, for sure they need to react to hopefully!!

I looooved this movie as a teen! John amd Aaron totally made my night so much better and was dancing along with them during the music! Appreciate you all!

This was such a great watch!! So much fun! I was ironically 15 when this came out and thought 30 looked SO awesome.... Yeah I give being 35 a 3/10 I do not recommend 😜🤣🤣 I tell my 10 yr old nephew to slow down and enjoy his childhood because he says he can't wait to grow up because he "hates school" I tell him ALL the time I'd trade places with him if I could lol 😅😅❤️❤️
