13 Going on 30: Synopsis
From the producing team of Donna Arkoff Roth and Susan Arnold (America’s Sweethearts, Forces of Nature, Grosse Point Blank), producer Gina Matthews (What Women Want, Urban Legend) and director Gary Winick (Tadpole) comes Revolution Studios’ 13 Going on 30 starring Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo, a delightful romantic comedy that asks the question, “What do you do when your greatest wish comes true and it’s nothing at all like you imagined?”
In Jenna Rink’s case the answer is: You have to grow up -- and fast!
For most people, 13 feels like it was just yesterday -- for Jenna Rink it was.
It is 1987 and Jenna is a 13-year-old girl on the brink of womanhood. The problem is that adulthood is just not arriving fast enough. She’s suffocated by her dorky parents, ignored by the hip kids in school and the cute guy she has a crush on, barely knows her name. No longer content to spend time only with her best friend and neighbor, Matt Flamhaff, Jenna invites the cool kids to her 13th birthday party. But the party is a disaster. Jenna is humiliated when she’s locked in the closet for a game of “Seven Minutes in Heaven” and everyone deserts her.
Alone in the closet, Jenna makes an earnest wish. If only she could be all grown up, she’d have the life she’s always wanted.
Miraculously, her wish comes true.
The next day, when Jenna emerges from the closet, it’s 2004 and she’s 30-years old. What’s more, she is a gorgeous successful woman (Jennifer Garner) with a great job and a fabulous Fifth Avenue apartment. She is finally cool and popular.
The only hitch? She has absolutely no idea how she got there.
Initially frightened but gradually enchanted by her new life, Jenna soon realizes there’s something missing -- Matt. When she looks him up, she is horrified to discover that she and Matt (Mark Ruffalo) are no longer in contact and he is engaged to be married.
Jenna learns that having it all is not enough and decides to take a second chance at first love.
Now her biggest wish is that it’s not too late.
