Mark Ruffalo has charm to spare.

Full Review | May 6, 2024

Jennifer Garner possesses the flair and instincts of a screwball comedienne.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 30, 2021

There are some neat lessons here, but they unfortunately get lost inside the wooden writing and character development.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 24, 2020

It's not a perfect film, and nor does it have much that you've not seen before. You can predict it, you're unlikely to be surprised, but it's glossy and slick, and very easy to watch.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 26, 2020

Garner makes the most of this humble, good-natured rom-com, propelling it from the minor leagues to the majors.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 26, 2020

13 Going on 30, directed with a sweet touch by Gary Winick (Tadpole), is an immensely likable if unchallenging comedy.

Full Review | Mar 26, 2020

Overall the tale is flimsy and predictable, but it's buoyant and engaging enough not to matter.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 26, 2020

A few laughs, but the premise is not developed with much comic flair.

Full Review | Mar 26, 2020

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.

13 Going on 30 is best when it's adorable.

Full Review | Mar 26, 2020

A sweet little fantasy that lacks the bite of Big, the film''s just a pleasant getaway. Nothing more.

Full Review | Feb 28, 2020

[Jennifer Garner] makes you really feel like there's a 13 year old girl in that body.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Jun 27, 2019

It's silly fun with a soundtrack full of 1980s hits and plenty of ridiculous fashion.

Full Review | Jan 2, 2019

There's not a lot of originality to this film.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 17, 2016

Touching and hilarious Jennifer Garner romcom.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 26, 2010

Jennifer Garner breaks character by forgetting that she's playing an awkward 13-year-old girl in a 30-year-old woman's body in this girly comedy

Full Review | Original Score: C | May 7, 2009

Naive as its young heroine, but also as good-natured. [Blu-ray]

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 22, 2009

The sheer predictability of the plot means it doesn't really stand up to the scrutiny of anyone older than 15.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 15, 2008

A radiant woman looking like she's having the time of her life makes up for a lot of inconsistencies.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Jul 23, 2007

A rehash of familiar material, but the engaging Garner is charismatic enough to make it magical.
