Erin’s Review of Jennifer Garner’s New Film "13 Going on
30"
I have to admit before I even write this review; I’m probably a little biased on
the subject of this movie. I’m a big fan of Alias and of Jennifer so it’s up to
you how much my opinion ways in on you decision to see the movie or not. That
being said, I truly thought that this film was really cute. I’m not going to say
that it dramatically impacted me, but I do feel that the film itself had an
inspiring message. Jennifer Garner’s portrayal of the character Jenna Rink is
very captivating. She captures the essence of the thirteen year old with
gestures and body language. She relays the dialogue as if Jennifer the person
has that playful side within her that is brought out into her character. Mark
Ruffalo who plays Matt, Jenna’s childhood buddy, displays the boy next door
charm that takes most every girl’s breath away. Although not extremely hunky,
his demeanor and personality on screen allows you to fall in love with his
character. Although I’m sure that this film will not be in the “Oscar Circle”,
it is a genuinely sweet and “leave the theatre feelin’ good,” kind of film. It
is definitely a “date movie”! So go see 13 Going on 30! Although you won’t be
extremely taken aback by its message, it will leave you with a sweet taste in
your mouth. I give it Three Rambaldi Stars ;)
