13 going on 30

(PG-13)

by Kelly Kent
Starring: Jennifer Garner, Judy Greer, Andy Serkis, Christa B. Allen, Sam Ball

I enjoyed this chick-flick more than I expected to. This review might be a little biased because I am an Alias fan, which stars Jennifer Garner (Did you see the season finale- I can never predict the outcome of that show!) and am a huge 80's movies and music fan so I enjoyed listening to Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody," Rick Springfield's "Jessie's Girl," and Pat Benatar's "Love Is A Battlefield." I especially liked Garner's arm movements while lip singing "Love Is A Battlefield." Best line of the movie was when Garner explained to a bunch of 13 year-olds, "Yeah, love is a battlefield." And a young girl replies, "That is so deep." He he!

This movie has its faults. This movie faded out during the wrong moments and had some unrealistic dialogue. I understand that the movie plot isn’t very realistic…a 13 year-old stuck in a 30 year-old’s body, but it is my opinion that there was some unnecessary unrealistic dialogue. Overall, this is a very cute movie!

Then we know what you will be doing on Wednesday nights! Well, I loved this movie. I loved the dialogue, the music, the costumes, everything about it! And I enjoyed seeing a moral ending, especially in these days where every movie seems to be viciously attacking marriage! No wonder so many people disapproved of the ending! But, I thought this movie was adorable! :-)
