13 going on 30!!

Hah!! Finally... i get to watch a teen flick again after so long... ok not really a Teen Flick but rather a "mature" Teen Flick if u get my drift..... Last wed the free movies in store for the Singapore Film Society screening was AVP and 13 Going On 30!! Knowing that AVP the super monster comedy was watched and reviewed by me not too long ago, the obvious choice was to sit through this entertaining movie about growing old fast... WAAAAAAY too fast.

Jennifer Garner stars as a 13-year-old braces-wearing (YES just like me...) girl who gets turned into a 30-year-old overnight, after a birthday wish comes true. The film then goes to show how she comes to terms with being 30 and flirty!! We get to see her finding out what responsibilities u have as compared to being a teen, how people in the corporate world can back stab u all the time, how it feels to have Women Boobs, and all about the birds and the bees of course... ;)




I must say that this isn't the brainest movie i've seen for sure, but it's sure to bring a smile to your day because of it's lighthearted comedy and heartwarming scenes too. Sure it does get a bit predictable here and there, but i must say that Jennifer Garner (chio babe chio babe chio babe) stands out and makes this movie so watchable! Also have to look for Mr Smeagol himself (Andy Serkis) who puts in a very entertaining performance as a magazine editor-in-chief. I could've sworn he was Mr Bean in certain scenes....

Tim's Movie Rating - 13 Going on 30 ====> 3/5
Nice and cheery comedy about a girl who just reaches her teens, and then her 30s in just a day. Talk about looking too old for your age. Jenny Garner will keep up your level of interest in the film, and all of us who remember being young once before will enjoy watching her go through maturity in a flash!
