13 Going On 30 Reviews |
The movie would have shown some daring savvy if it had played more with the role-playing aspect of fashion spreads. Instead it is content to eat its retro snack cake and have it, too. "Let them eat Twinkies," the movie suggests, instead of getting into dicier issues. [read review]
--Elvis Mitchell (The New York Times)
A few minutes into 13 Going on 30, I knew I was in capable hands. Ultimately, the movie may not be as good, uplifting, or perceptive as Big, but it's one of the better teen girl-themed films of the year, and can be enjoyed by viewers of either gender in any age group. [read review] 
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
Effortless and adorable, 30 is a lovable New York romance with the right amount of whimsy and magic. It made me smile through and through, even as obvious plot questions picked at my brain and unrealistic problems stacked up like cars on the interstate during rush hour. 30 might not stay with me longer than a week or two, but it certainly was fun while it lasted.

--Sean O'Connell (FilmCritic.com)
I suppose there are worse ways to spend an evening than watching Jennifer Garner grabbing her boobies for 95 minutes. I didn't expect much going into this generic-looking film and didn't get much in return, but was somewhat entertained by it all, despiteits safe and regurgitated themes. [read review] 6/10
--'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com)
Jennifer Garner is indeed a charmer, but she's the victim of a charmless treatment in "13 Going on 30," another one of those body switch movies (think "Big," "Vice Versa," "Freaky Friday," etc.) in which a child magically occupies an adult body. [read review] 
--Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
Garner's performance effectively keeps things interesting, even when the film is going through the motions as the conclusion draws near. And though 13 Going on 30 doesn't quite come close to Big, it is a worthy addition to the genre. [read review] 
--David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)
“13” is relentlessly sweet, beautifully acted, and is warmly aware of the passionate pre-teen spirit. If you don’t dig too deeply into the proceedings, there’s a terrific little film in there amidst all the hackneyed tripe. [read review] B+
--Brian Orndorf (FilmJerk.com)
The predictable message of the power of true love is then presented with the usual twists and turns of this simple story. But the moral message is a positive one as it takes on the implied messages of popular culture. [read review]
--Denny Wayman and Hal Conklin (Cinema in Focus)
Jennifer Garner gives a wonderful and playful performance, and, even though the show is hers, it's stolen sometimes from Andy Serkis. But moviegoers might feel robbed from the un-original and predictable story... [read review] 
--Brian Gallagher (MovieWeb)
Though the basic premise of "13 Going on 30" could hardly be more familiar - it's "Big" for girls - it's a surprisingly charming and fresh comedy that only becomes painfully saccharine in its last 20 minutes. [read review]
--Jonathan Foreman (New York Post)
13 Going On 30 is a completely unoriginal story given a fresh, airy make-over that moves along at a pleasant clip because of the winning, likable performances of Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo. [read review] 6/10
--W. Andrew Powell (The Gate.ca)
Early on, "13 Going on 30" raises hopes that its message will be "It's great to be different." So why does it dash those hopes so cruelly? [read review]
--Stephanie Zacharek (Salon)
So engaging and ultimately so sweet, that it’s difficult not to get swept up in the fun and sentimentality. [read review] 74/100
--Brian Webster (Apollo Guide)
Garner and Ruffalo make for an appealing little diversion that shows their true star quality. [read review] B
--Craig Younkin (Lee's Movie Info)
Um, yeah...More like 13 Going on Boring. [read review] 
--B. Alan Orange (MovieWeb)
