Critics Consensus

Although the plot leaves a lot to be desired, 13 Going on 30 will tug at your inner teenager's heartstrings thanks in large part to a dazzling performance from Jennifer Garner.

Peter Bradshaw Guardian A few laughs, but the premise is not developed with much comic flair. Mar 26, 2020 Full Review Keith Phipps AV Club Apart from the moment when Garner unselfconsciously flirts with a 13-year-old boy, the film is pretty much devoid of comic spark, and though it seems to have sweet intentions, it keeps sending mixed messages. Mar 26, 2020 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Touching and hilarious Jennifer Garner romcom. Rated: 4/5 Aug 26, 2010 Full Review Don Shanahan Cinephile Hissy Fit Podcast Mark Ruffalo has charm to spare. May 6, 2024 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Jennifer Garner possesses the flair and instincts of a screwball comedienne. Rated: 3/4 Oct 30, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com There are some neat lessons here, but they unfortunately get lost inside the wooden writing and character development. Rated: 2.0/4.0 Sep 24, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Ishi A Definitely a feel-good movie! Must see! It never gets old. 👍👍 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Fabrícia F Do sonho a quebra de expectativa. A realidade de uma jovem muda drasticamente ao transportá-la para o futuro cumprindo o desejo do seu aniversário de treze anos. Mas a realidade lhe ensina que nem tudo o que queremos é algo bom e que pular etapas da vida é prejudicial. Divertido, leve, criativo, reflexivo. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Tamara M I hope many movies like this again to have 🩷 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Catarina W reassistiria, mas não gostei tanto (estranho da minha parte) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Alana F Such a fire movie, made me shed a tear or two. Must watch, you won’t regret it 😼 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review John A A creative little premise that doesn't lead to the emotionally significant crescendos one might expect. Garner and Ruffalo more or less 'make' the picture. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
