I watched "13 Going On 30" for the first time tonight. Awesome 80's music including Rick Springfield and The Go Gos. I thought Jennifer Garner did an admirable job, but the real star of the movie was Mark Ruffalo..... because every guy remembers the crush he had on a girl that thought of him as only as a friend. So Sad.
Did anyone else like this movie?

Never saw it. I do know that the plot was ripped off from "Big", and although Garner's character jumped from 1987 to the modern day, she somehow latched onto Vanilla Ice's "Ice, Ice Baby", which she wouldn't have been able to experience in its' original time period.
Sincerely,
John Kilduff

I liked it. Didn't think I would, but I thought it was pretty funny.

I simply loved it because of the music in it!! "I wanna go back and do it all over, but I can't go back I know", well duh Jenna got to go forward and back so maybe there still is hope for us all yet!!

I saw it once and I don't ever really need to see it again. It was okay, the music obviously appealed to me and I don't mind Jennifer Garner but it was just kinda blah overall.

i loved it!! i haven't found a recent chick flick that i actualy liked, it was probaly the 80's factor that won me over! but i just really enjoyed it! Posted by Muffy Tepperman (Member # 1551) on :
Cindy Thank YOu!
I won't ever watch it again either......I thought it was BLAH too!
It was like you said....OK.
See a movie like Mean Girls had more of an 80's movie feel to it...to me then 13 going on 30....Especially now that Jen is a Benifer Sequel she loses her cool appeal to me.

I thought 13 going on 30 was a great movie.loved it.My fave scene was when Jen went back to her parents house and locked herself in the cupboard while the Billy Joel song played (vienna!apparently).I dont like Billy Joel but thought that was a great song to use,I just loved the line ''slow down you crazy child'' But yeah great movie.

"Bennifer sequel" Bennifer II: Attack of the clones
I bet you cheer for Colin Farrell when he’s kicking Ben & Jen’s assess in ‘Daredevil’
I've not seen this movie but it looks like fun in much the same way as 'Legally Blonde' was quite enjoyable, Jennifer Garner can be rathur annoying at the best of times, but I liked her as Elektra.

Like did anyone else pick-up on the fact that Cindy & Muffy must have been six chicks in high school and this movie brings back bad memories?
"Like so not!" says Muffy
Posted by Muffy Tepperman (Member # 1551) on :
Glad you liked that one Kash... haha Kash I loved 'Legally Blonde' and I usually love movies like this.....just not this one!!!
Valley "do I look like Mother Teresa? If I did I probaly wouldn't mind talking to the Geek Squad?"
oh yeah........and "Like so not"
I'm just not a big J-lo or Jennifer Garner fan.

I liked this movie - it probably wasn't on a par with any originals but it was up there. I really didn't like 'The Wedding Singer' so I guess I liked this compared to that.

Didnt like the wedding singer?????? DIDNT like the wedding singer??????? didnt LIKE the wedding singer????? didnt like the WEDDING SINGER??????? nope, no matter how I try to say it....it just doesnt sound right. Posted by Devolution (Member # 1731) on :

I liked the movie! It was so cute! Posted by StevenHW (Member # 509) on :
"The Wedding Singer" wasn't bad. But feels fake and contrived. The 80's references in that movie seem forced, and I think it would've been a LOT different if it were actually made during the 80's!
Posted by Mr. Tia (Member # 4374) on :
wedding singer was cute, but yeah, it was way more 80s than the 80s ever were.
Posted by The Mouse Avenger (Member # 4406) on :
No, I mean I thought "13 Going On 30" was cute.
Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
something about Jennifer Garner's face bothers me. Is is that she looks like she has too many teeth in her mouth?????
I liked the movie though (13 Going on 30) although it does not touch the hems of the robes of THE WEDDING SINGER!
