I saw this film on TV and immediately realized that the film was worth it, but I couldn’t watch it until the end. Then I decided I would definitely download and watch. And I didn't.
Many thanks to its creators and actors for the good mood and emotions that they gave me. It's priceless.
I got a huge amount of pleasure and euphoria, a charge of positivity and a desire to live on. It smells of warmth, nostalgia for the best of times and comfort. And that dance at the club to Michael Jackson's Thriller is not forgotten. I wanted to dance by myself. And what cool soundtracks are played in the film, especially the main song at the beginning of the film. It's almost a masterpiece. After all, they were able to make such films well at the beginning of two thousandths, an old-school theme.
For a long time, cinema is not just entertainment, but a religion. It helps me to breathe, understand a lot and understand myself.
This film has a much deeper meaning than it might initially seem, and if you know how to notice it. It's not just fun. It reveals a lot about the essence of our lives, about true and false values, about what is most important in life and what we spend our time on. And how stupid it is to chase the empty in the form of those "six chicks." But the kids, what can I say, were all like that. Simple truths.
Jenna Rink (Jennifer Garner) wanted to become an adult and plunge into a “beautiful” and “successful” life. But you have to pay for everything, especially for quick success. There will always be side effects and consequences. For example, in the form of detractors of colleagues and other surprises and surprises. The price of success in this world is what to say.
This film is very close to me in its spirit, its idea. It shows how important it is to appreciate the moment, appreciate what you have now, your friends, loved ones and much more. It's all easy to lose. Jenna said, “I think we all want to feel the things we’ve turned away or forgotten again because we didn’t realize how important it was that we left.” I was moved to the core by these words. That's exactly what it is.
Many of us, like me, might want to go back in time when we felt good. But as Matt (Mark Ruffalo) rightly observed when he spoke to Jenna, “As much as I want to bring back that time, but time cannot be stopped, we are not what we were before.” By the way, thanks to this, I learned a lot for myself that I need to live on, live in the present.
The moral of the film lies on the surface and is not difficult to understand. And when you understand it, it just overshadows you, and then it becomes so good and calm in the soul. Yes, as you know, everything brilliant is simple!
Actors' play:
Jennifer Garner, beautiful, what else can I say? Played great. I was not very interested in it before, but I really liked it here. I’ll definitely look at her movies better.
Mark Ruffalo (Matt) played very well and well. You believe him, you admire him. No one could have played like that.
Absolutely all the actors played great, everyone liked, each in his place. Very funny was that plump Jenna assistant secretary. All the time with such a plaintive and guilty look, they say, do not hit only me.
There are a lot of funny moments in the film, like 'boyfriend' Alex, who danced striptease and looked like a freak. This moment is shown in the trailer for the film here.
The ending of the film broke a tear. I really want to believe that this is possible in real life. It is good that such films give us the opportunity to plunge into a fairy tale, to dream, to go back to the past when we were happy. Believe in best friends. Anything is possible. But you have to do it yourself.
The film is underrated, but its understanding viewer is sure to find. I advise you to watch the film | Neva-1 in the voiceover from Neva. I think it's the best.
Funny quotes from the movie:
1. I just fell asleep in the closet, and when I woke up, I was an adult. . .'
'Are you sitting on something, Anasha, Ecstasy?'
2.- Are you naked? - Well, not yet.
3. - Hey, sweet ass, come here.
The film is now on my list of the best and will remain in my heart. I'm sure I'll watch it many more times when the emotions swell.
I recommend it!
I really liked the movie. Very. Great acting. Music. The original six chicks. But most of all, I liked the love story. Jenn at the age of 13 admired Chris, a kind of handsome, not noticing next to him Matt, his best friend. . It is good that in this film time could be taken back. I love the picture of Jenn in the closet, after returning to his body 13-year-old girl, waiting for Matt. Already in love with him.
I think we all want to feel the things that we've turned away or forgotten, because we didn't realize how important it was that we left.
So it came to my hands to write a review of the film that I watched as a child – “From 13 to 30”. Let me tell you, I really liked it.
In the center of the plot is a 13-year-old girl Jenna and her best friend Matt. They go to the same school. Jenna really wants to be in the company of the most popular girls of the school and tries to please them in every way, but they still do not accept her. Jenna doesn't like being a 13-year-old, she dreams of how cool it would be if she was 30. What do you think? The day after her birthday, she wakes up in her 30 year old body!
I really liked the idea that director Gary Vinik put into the plot - you need to value what you have and don't have time better than what you have now. It’s a pretty light film with a very important idea that many people often forget. Especially children, they think that when they grow up, it will radically change their lives for the better, but adult life has its disadvantages.
Jennifer Garner is an incredibly beautiful actress and I was so excited to see her in this movie. She played the role of a girl in the body of an adult woman. And it doesn't need a lot of acting talent, I certainly couldn't. Mark Ruffalo also played the role of quiet and calm Matt. I think this is largely due to the fact that the temperament of the actor coincided with the temperament of the hero.
The musical accompaniment also pleased, here you and Madonna, and Vanilla Ice, and Michael Jackson, who was very popular during the events shown in the film. As a lover of good music, I was delighted!
But again, the most important thing is the message of the film. Now you rarely find comedies without toilet humor, but with a deep meaning, so such films are worth their weight in gold.
I recommend watching this movie, it is definitely in the top comedies, in my humble opinion. I watch 13 to 30 every year and it gives me positive and joyful emotions.
I watched this movie for the first time at 20. I thought it was a simple story about princesses. I'm 33 now. The other day I saw footage from this film and it resurfaced in my memory. I immediately wanted to read reviews about him. Surprisingly, the film received many positive reviews, which were written mostly by women. The men were more skeptical of the picture. According to male reviews, I was convinced that the film is just a talentless slag that must be thrown into the furnace, but... For some reason, I ran it right on my laptop and started watching. Apparently, I wanted to refresh his memory even more so as to get some criticism. Yeeeeee. There will be no special criticism, the film is quite qualitatively made, it is not a cheap slag, so the review turns out to be neutral.
Yes, it's a fairy tale for princesses. The film is about a stereotypical girl who blossoms into a beauty. In this regard, the plot is banal, predictable and not surprising with unexpected turns. But it bribes the pitch. The dialogue is quite well built, the acting of claims I did not cause. There are even dramatic moments in which the emotions of the characters believe and you can empathize. Women definitely have something to get into this movie. And men this fairy tale does not reject, it looks easy, there are no particularly boring moments. Well selected soundtrack for the film, compositions in the right places and perfectly convey the mood of the scenes. That's all right, good director.
There are claims against the writers. The story is about moving through time. The main character Jenna is transferred to the future for seventeen years and falls into her thirty-year-old body. And it would have been fine if there was a difference between Jenna at 13 and 30. In 13-year-old Jenna we see a modest, nerd, who is friends with a puffy boy. She is unsure of herself, led by the authority of glossy and stupid classmates. Failures in relationships bring her to tears. And at thirty she is already the queen of life, a successful business woman, a glossy beauty, a leader and everything at her feet. How can you rebuild in seventeen years? To be fair, Jenna herself does not remember how she became completely different and when she is told about her actions in the past, she herself is amazed. That is, a teenage girl not only got into the body of an adult woman, she got into the body of another and completely different person. The Jenna that we were shown at the beginning of the film would never have been the leader that beauties and beauties lean to, the character is not the same initially. But let’s assume that these seventeen years for her lived someone different in nature. And, unfortunately, the viewer is not particularly immersed in the details of her life during these seventeen years. But it could be a serious drama with self-digging in the past, which would be illustrated moments that changed the fate of a person, but we have just a romantic comedy without special pens on psychological topics, and in vain.
I also have questions from Jenna’s friend Matt. As a child, we see him as a chubby loser who is teased by his classmates. He is a sensual boy, has tender feelings for Jenna, tries to surprise her with his actions, but for her he is only a friend, she sucks for a sports blonde who drives a car. Thirty years later, we see Matt lost weight and strengthened man, who himself began to look like a sports handsome. This is an interesting scenario that is poorly implemented. The fact that Jenna sent Matt far and long seventeen years ago, after which they never met, they began a different life. We see that Matt has changed markedly. Most likely, he experienced unrequited love, took up sports and entered adulthood quite successful and promising young man. We are shown that he has a girlfriend, he is going to marry her - everything is super. But he ceases to be a normal thirty-year-old man when Jenna reappears in his life, and she appears in an inadequate state. He does not drive her away, he again becomes her errands. It turns out that all this time he continued to love her, so without any questions helps her solve problems. Isn't that stupid? I would understand this point if Matt was presented at thirty as a drunken fat man, grieving over the past, but not. He's a successful, self-sufficient man. How many men do you know who remember their seventh-grade girlfriends with trepidation? I don't. But this female film and the law of the genre requires the presence of a prince who is crazy about the princess and forgives her any stupidity contrary to logic.
There are funny moments in the film, but overall I can’t call it funny. Many jokes are built on how thirteen-year-old Jenna tries to adapt to the world of her thirty-year-old counterpart. There are ridiculous moments when she does something and you are ashamed. It must be funny, but it only causes shame. These are also scenario flaws. Jenna is very stupid and panicking even when it becomes quite obvious that she is in the future, this is a different world, no one will understand her truth about time travel, but she stubbornly proves to everyone that she is not her. And it can start to annoy at some point. Also, these drawbacks include her far-fetched acquaintance with thirteen-year-old girls and the gathering of a bachelorette party from little girls in her apartment – the most recent moment. About the scene where she meets a kid in a cafe - I don't even want to remember, it's a bloody facepalm. But such stupid jokes require genre, because this is a movie for almost all ages.
Despite the voiced shortcomings, the film is not bad, it is qualitatively staged in the director’s plan. There are questions about the script, but you can close your eyes to them, because this is an unpretentious romantic comedy and the film copes with this romantic and fairy-tale function.
Of course, it's a shame that director Gary Vinick passed away at such an early age - he was only 49 when a brain tumor took him away. Perhaps he was not the leader in the camp of directors of romantic comedies like, say, Gary Marshall, but he shot Vinik rather strong paintings that were in constant demand. And his first tape, when he drew the attention of the audience, became a romcom with a bit of fantasy mysticism ' From 13 to 30' according to the script of the married couple Josh Goldsmith and Kathy Yusp, who won success thanks to the hit of the 2000th year 'What women want' And there is a possibility that just the popularity 'What women want' influenced that on the shooting in ' From 13 to 30' agreed Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo, Judy Greer, Andy Serkis and Katie Baker - a very solid cast for the middle of zero.
According to Josh Goldsmith and Katie Yusp, the plot revolves around Jenna Rink. We initially watch her during her thirteenth birthday celebrations, when Jenna invited some of the most popular kids from the school, while Jenna herself was not very successful. And only young and slightly plump Matt shows her the signs of attention, but Jenna is strongly opposed to any romance towards Matt. Meanwhile, the guests decided to make a stupid and rude joke on Jenna. And just at the moment when Matt decided to give the girl his gift, which he made himself, there is a cruel incident according to young Jenna. She faints, and when she wakes up, she suddenly discovers that she is 30 years old, in bed with a man, and she has no memory of what happened during those seventeen years, because Jenna is surprised to learn that she is already thirty. . .
Of course, this is not the first time that the idea of a time jump (as well as the transfer of souls) has been used for the plot of romcoms. It is obvious to all viewers that some higher forces gave the main character a chance to correct all the mistakes and then go back to the old days with an understanding of how to really develop your life, so that happiness directly accompanies her and goes foot in step. Therefore, the setting, development and identified happy ending the viewer anticipates in advance, so the main chance of the film to become really relevant is to fill it with decent scenes resembling the same sitcom, and the scenes should be both comedic and melodramatic, which fits into the laws of the romcom genre. As for ' Of 13 a 30' I cannot say that there are enough scenes where there is room for laughter, and the melodrama is not particularly touching and philosophically profound. But, nevertheless, the film turned out to be easy, kind and in something fabulous.
Honestly, I’m a fan of Jennifer Garner’s talent, but I might as well say that I don’t see a special gift in her. She is, of course, a good actress, but quite static and is not remembered by any particularly expressive emotions. There is, of course, a certain attraction in her smile, but to love her character, to sympathize with her and want to find her happiness as soon as possible - this did not feel, so her Jenny turned out to be quite ordinary, without zest, without passion and a halo of romanticism. What can not be said about Mark Ruffalo, who has repeatedly proved that as a romantic hero he is good, playing a guy who shows that he is the future of the main character, although she does not notice it. And just ' From 13 to 30', as well as the tapes 'Between Heaven and Earth' and ' Rumors ' reveal the image of a romantic hero, located a little in the shadows, from Mark Ruffalo. As for Judy Greer, she played well, besides her character is not as simple as it seems at first glance, which is clearly more memorable than the character of Jennifer Garner.
It turns out that 'From 13 to 30' - this is a nice romantic comedy, but is perceived without much delight, so it is also typical, but still light and looks without any tension. And, in principle, fans of romcoms once it is quite possible to see ' From 13 to 30', the bigger picture is unlikely to pull.

Project: "100 best films of all times and peoples (its own, original list)". N 32. 13 to 30 (USA, 2004). Psychology and philosophy of life, told in a simple, fun, romantic, instructive and very soulful language
Hello!
The picture “From 13 to 30” none of you will put in the gold ribbons of cinema. Nobody! For many, it's just a lyrical, romantic comedy for a night out, another. Like, it's simple and ordinary. And actors are normal. There's nothing so extraordinary. But I don't think so. From this seemingly simple romance, you can write a whole coursework. Not to mention the fact that it is also five seminars on psychology.
Sweet, pretty, still unblossoming teenage girl Jenna, on her 13th birthday, because of complexes, braces, character (let’s emphasize and highlight!) wants to become thirty years old, in the hope that then the whole world will turn at her feet, that everyone will love and respect her, that life will change for the better. Surprisingly, her dream is coming true. And this is the first seminar on the topic “Psychology of teenagers who dream of imitating their idols, rather than living their own lives.” Examples, consequences.
Moving in time 17 years ahead, that is, in her 30 years, as she wanted, Jenna, naturally, at first is very stunned and precipitates. But then, after getting used to it, he realizes that this is heaven. Uh, at first. Since she did not grow up, but jumped through some stages of each person’s life (first date, first love, trips to other cities, difficult exams that cause trouble, graduation, prom, moving from her parents, university, first part-time job, possible marriage, but most often in the modern world – cohabitation with a guy), everything that happens seems to her some strange and strange dream. But that's her reality. And she doesn't like that kind of reality. She sees that she has become a bad person, but does not understand why and how to fix it. And this is workshop number 2, called "Life in the Fog." Gallop by decade. Years passed. Consequences, conclusions.
The third and my favorite seminar would be Friends, Family and Friends. Jenna is alone in her new world! She does not like her boyfriend, a girl, under the shell of a mature woman, only 13 years old and adult games are alien to her (everything will happen in due time, not before), and the time-imposed best friend seems to be nothing more than just a classmate, nothing more. And here, and I want to howl, realizing that you have no friends, that you do not communicate with your parents, and surround you not at all those you would like to see in your life. Then you start to experience shock, sincerely not understanding what happened. I want to breathe deeply, drink water (a sip of water, in such cases, is necessary), hug a pillow, sit down and calm down.
At this point, I couldn’t stand it, pressed the pause and went to the bath to wash my red face with tears.
Further action just killed me. She goes to her long-forgotten parents, during the trip, a beautiful song sounds, when she arrives she hugs her father (surprising, thereby, the mother, who understands that her daughter has problems), I can not stand it and again press the pause.
Movie! Are you crazy? Enough with psychology! Even in an entertaining, lyrical and romantic form! It doesn't hit the eyebrow, it hits the eyebrow! And what do I care about the rating of the tape and what world famous critics think about it, if three times per view, I not only put 10 points out of 10 per century, I experienced strong emotions!!! I have seen so many things and I have seen them!!
“I don’t talk to my parents, I did something bad with a married man. I am a bad person.
And that naivety in the eyes. Children's spontaneity ...
The fourth seminar would be “A bold but necessary step forward.” Through fear, doubt, bad luck, timidity.” Like, you understand that you are a bad person, but you try to prove the opposite to everyone by emphasizing that everything that happened in the past was done not by you, but by someone else, because there were no 17 years in your life! It wasn't. And you seem to be succeeding, this is the most correction, but time cannot be reversed. What is lost will not be returned. And it's sad and it's hurtful. A teenager, and even more so...
In the fifth meeting, let’s talk about this. The fact that everything is back in the movie is a good thing. But it's a movie. American product. In reality, this is not the case.
Returning to the film, to this very American product, I note that:
1) I really liked the actress who played the role of adult Jenna – Jennifer Garner.
2) I couldn't help but enjoy the dance at the party, to Michael Jackson's worldwide hit "Thriller." This song, along with the clip, can already be considered a classic of pop music.
(3) The girl who played young Jenna, Krista B. Allen, was also sweet and pleasant. I'm sure Miss could decorate any teen show or movie. By the way, five years later, she will play the role of young Jennifer Garner again! The girls worked. And that's great. For movies, especially.
(4) Matt’s boyfriend (Sean Marquette), who happened to be a partner of young Jenny in the film, was more pleasant to me than his adult version. I respect Mark Ruffalo, but with all his appearance, the actor showed that he is not a romantic. Not a hero-lover at all. And I give him credit for the fact that in this case, it was a brilliant approach to history. They say that he is sad, sad because the love of his life was not with him. And now the guy has to live differently. Not with those who are close to heart and soul.
(5) I really, really liked the script! (Josh Goldsmith, Kathy Yuspa).
And I'll add: thank you to the director (Gary Winick). I don’t know, I didn’t see the look, but the boy did a good job.
Well... Enough, I guess. It's not a coursework. I could have. But let's keep going. And the painting “From 13 to 30” – thank you very much. Not just for emotions. But also for teaching, for soulfulness. That’s what I’ve been missing in recent months.
Well, for pure tears, tears of purification - a low bow. Not every movie can do that. Thank you ...
And put it on the list. Along with The Parent Trap, you will be my special movie. A special film for a special person. What you need...
This film is already 10 years old, I heard about it a hundred times, saw some excerpts, but for some reason I decided to watch it only now.
A 13-year-old girl with complexes, as it often happens, wants to join a group of cool girls (six chicks), only they do not want to take her for their own, and for a birthday they leave her in the pantry. The heroine suffers from her age, well, like many teenagers, and after watching various magazines, considers 30 years the most magnificent sometimes in life. The wish of the birthday girl comes true and she wakes up at the age of her dreams. But what do we do now? How do you do your job? How do you communicate with adults? Where was the childhood friend who was always there? It's time for the heroine to think whether it was worth rushing the time at all.
To be honest, after watching this movie, I regretted something, namely that I had not seen this movie before! There are a lot of stories where characters change bodies when you literally have to be in a foreign place, yes, it's fascinating. But it is even more curious to be yourself, but to jump sharply to another age. This tape tells about many things: love, friendship, time, etc. But most importantly, you understand that any age is beautiful in its own way and you should not rush events, you need to look for pros and cons in the present. I wish I had seen this movie when I was 13. Well, even though I'm not so much, this story is still very interesting. You start to think about yourself at that age and you think that when you're 13 or 16, you feel incredibly grown up and ready for almost everything, but in fact, if you take us a few years forward, we just don't know what to do. Of course, sometimes I wanted to sleep a nasty duckling, and wake up a beautiful swan, but all in time. I like the cast, and watching them play is a pleasure.
I would really like teenagers to watch this movie, and so can everyone else, it’s very funny.

This fantasy-comedy melodrama with an uncomplicated name tells us the story of a teenage girl Jenna, not very popular in school, but striving for it. Her desire is one - to join the company of "cool" girls, while far from wanting to see Jenna in his circle. She does not notice her secretly in love with her friend Matt, a seemingly nondescript neighbor's boy, but a kind, sympathetic, with whom she is so easy to communicate. And while she is unable to carry out her plans, she dreams of only one thing - rather to become a successful adult woman. Suddenly, like a magic wand, Jenna wakes up the next morning and finds herself a 30-year-old woman, but with the psyche of a 13-year-old girl. But, as she wanted, very successful, because she has a prestigious job, a young man – a celebrity, best friend – that former most popular girl in school, her apartment, money, “star” social circle. After recovering from such a turn of events, the main character has euphoria. But how long will it last? After all, the reverse side of such a new life begins to manifest for Jenna without forcing herself to wait long. She has no friendship with Matt, no contact with her parents, and in general everything is different now. Is she happy now? Is that what she really wanted?
This Gary Vinnick film, very similar to Mark Waters’ “Freaky Friday”, shot a year earlier, will involuntarily remind each of our youth, dreams, values in different periods of life. And also about simple truths, for example, that happiness can be very close or it can hide under a somewhat inconspicuous, at first glance, shell, you just need to consider it and catch it, if not too late. What is happiness really about?
Quite harmonious were Jennifer Garner in the role of Jenna and Mark Ruffalo in the role of Matt, who starred in the same year in the fantastic melodrama Eternal Sunshine of the Pure Mind. And pleasantly surprised, expressively presenting us bitchy - glamorous friend of Jenna, Judy Greer, who played in the same year a secondary role in the thriller M. Night Shyamalan "Mysterious forest" a nice simple girl from the village, and nine years later a caring teacher in the thriller Kimberly Pierce "Telekinesis".
In general, this is, you can say, a cute, not very original or even a “passage” film about a simple, but undoubtedly important, after watching which, you will most likely have a pleasant time, but you will hardly want to watch it again.
The film is good, very funny kind and romantic. This is a story about a little girl who dreamed of becoming an adult and did not notice the good that she had as a child. And only as an adult, she was able to appreciate how ghostly and insincere was all that she so longed for and saw the real values of life and real friends. Yes, it is a comedy, but the comedy is very instructive for all of us, about how we are constantly striving for something more in our lives, not not noticing the small things that are most important to us and not noticing those people who are always near us.
Wonderful actors, Jennifer Garner is an actress with a capital letter and just beautiful, and of course Mark Ruffalo with his good-natured face and kind look. In general, both of them in the film are such kind, positive and incredibly positive characters. And thanks to them, the film turned out very kind and positive.
And although there is not enough realism in this film, it is rather a fairy tale (because it is impossible to move in time 12 years ahead in our real world, although who can know for sure what is possible and what is not), but watching this fairy tale, you will not be bored and get a lot of positive emotions.
Again, the ending of the film is incredibly happy and romantic, and who does not like when everything ends well.

Soon, a famous site will have another birthday. Since I had been preparing thematic film selections for the main chronicle for certain dates for some time, I agreed to make another one dedicated to the birthday celebration. It was one of the first movies that popped into my head. I remember even having a DVD. I decided to review it today to write a review on fresh emotions.
13-year-old Jenna, like many other girls her age, wants to be friends with the most popular girls in the class, kiss beautiful boys, dance to popular songs, read youth magazines about stars and dream about the time when she will become an adult. On her birthday, she makes the most cherished wish - to become 30-year-old. They say in magazines that this is the best age. But when she wakes up the next morning as an adult, Jenna realizes that a lot of problems have been added to her breasts, a good job and a separate apartment. The main character needs a friendly shoulder, but when she finds it, Matt reports that they are not the best friends for a long time.
This romantic comedy is imbued with the spirit of infantilism and nostalgic views of the past, which gives it charm. After all, each of us as a child wanted to become an adult, and as adults, we want to fool around again and be carefree as before. But not everyone can afford it. It’s funny to watch Jennifer Garner, who resembles a revived doll with ridiculous hairstyles and catchy makeup. Mark Ruffalo is, as always, great. His character remained just as kind and modest, although significantly matured by the age of 30.
Overall, the film left a pleasant impression. Gary Vinick shows the audience that the past will never come back, but you can always try to correct your mistakes. Of course, the laws of the genre require a happy ending for a beautiful fairy tale with elements of magic. So don't judge too harshly. This is just a cute comedy for a one-time viewing.
Comedy in the best style “Traps for parents” and “Make a wish” from nothing previously not different Gary Vinnik. But, despite this, the film was hurried. There’s a lot of “be careful with your dreams” about the movie. If this girl had not got into her future, which she wanted as a child through magic pollen, she would have. The point here is different: not always what you want will be what you expected.
The film would be nothing without a great cast. And the composition of the picture is exactly the same: Mark Ruffalo, Judy Greer and a little less famous Ginnifer Garner. However, as for the latter, she perfectly got used to the role and played a 13-year-old girl in the body of a 30-year-old woman. Her performance was just amazing, everything was perfect: from gait to emotions.
The film does not have any cool special effects, mesmerizing music and such attractive stuff. There is just an idea and a plot that everyone has long understood and will be happy with, because everyone wants to fulfill their desires, everyone wants to change their fate for the better. I always want to watch it. This is a film for a wide audience, it will be interesting to everyone without exception. That’s why you can go and watch the movie again and again and again.

I think many of us would like to go back to a time when everything was easy and simple and correct a couple of mistakes that would fall into place, but this is possible only in the movies.
The main character had to make difficult choices, be successful, live with a dream man, but mean and absolutely empty or spend the rest of her life with a man she knew since childhood, who always sincerely loved her and was her best friend. Unfortunately, we weren’t shown if she had achieved everything she dreamed of at 13 after the “adjustment”, but it seems that after revising her adult life, she realized that her dreams should be different.
How wonderful it is to be distracted from adult problems and plunge into a world where everything is so simple and crisp, funny and perhaps eccentric. How often do we forget about our childhood and increasingly ask the question “Would we be proud of our real little ones?” Have we not betrayed our ideals? So it is...
Jenna's character was given an incredible one-in-a-million chance to see something that not always those who succeed in school achieve everything in adulthood, like her handsome friend Chris Grundy. And it's not always worth going over your head like her fake friend Tam-Tam, because then you can just be left with nothing. Jennifer Garner fit perfectly into the role. She is cute, handsome, charming and direct.
Met guy. He was just always there. He's just who every girl is looking for, if I know anything about girl dreams. Smart, kind, sweet, and most importantly, you can always rely on him. In a word, a real positive hero. Mark Ruffalo, so homely and simple, this film was just the right fit.
A whole string of actors: Judy Greer, Andy Serkis, Katie Baker, Samuel Ball, etc. - all of them are those whom we meet in more than a dozen films, in this picture perfectly complemented the overall impression of what they saw.
Someone writes that the teenage heroine is poorly transferred, but I personally want to say that the film is just perfect in its genre. Not to add, not to add, all in moderation. The first time I watched it at the age of 10 and who better than me to know, correctly shown the world of a teenager or not.
Thank you very much for the film Triller. This is especially true now that the great performer of the 80s hit is no longer with us. It is nice that his songs can be heard not only on cassettes.

Sometimes, for the sake of prestige, we choose a beautiful picture and thereby betray real friendship. This film is a kind of lesson.
Probably everyone has a mistake in life that they would gladly correct if they had the opportunity. Fortunately, the main character of the film “From 13 to 30” had this opportunity.
It was a lyrical retreat.
I found out about this film thanks to the TV, a trailer was shown on it. It was colorful, fun and very promising. I, happy, went to rent and got a tape. That was in 2005. I recently revisited this wonderful film and was not disappointed for a second. And now the impression of viewing.
The first thing that was good was the selection of actors. Everyone was in their seats. Jennifer Garner liked her sincere game and dimples on her cheeks. Mark Ruffalo is a different subject, he’s my favorite. And of course, Judy Greer, she's been a big bitch. Actors who played heroes in childhood also coped with all 100.
As I watched it, I felt like I was looking at someone’s life, not watching a movie. And this is a really important point, because this is the feeling that any film should give, otherwise the director wasted effort. All the actions of the actors, their phrases were so imbued with sincerity and warmth that I believed them. The whole film was almost saturated with positivity, although there were also moments for tears. For example, the moment when Jena presented her presentation as an option for remaking the magazine was very touching, the meeting of Jena and Matt before the wedding of the latter touched me to the core. And the moment when Jenna sat with the doll house during the wedding march, my tears flowed spontaneously.
I really liked the climax. The magic ending, and in the truest sense of the word, pleased. This is how such wonderful films should end.
Just revisited this picture and was pleasantly surprised by the light, childish, naive plot, which reveals not at all childish problems.
The film left a pleasant impression, although it is a movie from those films that are easy to predict, it is easy to understand how the movie will end, and yet, despite this, this movie is interesting to watch from the beginning to the end.
The film follows the life of a 13-year-old girl who is intertwined with her dream of growing up. It shows the present and its “desired” future.
On her 13th birthday, she wants to grow up (well, who didn’t want to be an adult early?)
And with the help of wonderful pollen, what she always dreamed about comes true.
One morning, a girl wakes up quite an adult 30-year-old woman, it seems that everything she dreamed came true?
However, it is not easy to be “imprisoned” by a teenager in the Teldo of an adult woman.
She's not surrounded by childish problems. She doesn't know what she's become.
This grown-up world swallowed her up, leaving her nothing of her former naivety.
She understands that she has no real friends, does not communicate with her parents, and in principle she is alone in this world.
And then it is impossible to become a friend who was and remains her best friend, despite the warm-up on their way.
I mean, this film will tell you that you need to appreciate life, live today, look at the people around you, understand who are really friends and who uses you.
It would be very good to view this picture for teenage girls, perhaps someone would overestimate their life, their desires, because who knows what will happen if your desires come true?
9/10
I will take 1 point off for the predictability of the film.
Every girl has a secret We’ve seen this with Tom Hanks in The Big. The plot repeats itself completely. Well, come on, the creators decided to originalize and put the girl in the center of attention. Eternal problems in the lack of male attention and similar problems are attached. However, I don't understand when Gr says, "Love is battlefield" ("Love is a battlefield) where she shows it. After all, it is not difficult to find a boyfriend. He sleeps and walks with everyone. When she realizes that her soulmate is an old friend from childhood, she does not really try to get his love. After all, he's marrying someone else. But now she returns to the past (again magical dust) and just kisses him, and now the future is assured. So where is the moral of the film? Stupid, fairy tale. Not for kids at all. Show this to children and that they already at the age of 13 look for narrowed. Garner's baby curvatures don't go at all. Looks like a crazy woman. She's not allowed to joke at all. Or at least to hear the jokes she makes is unbearable. 5 out of 10 Original
