13 Going on 30 - 4 1/2 stars out of 5 stars

Released in 2004 and running 94 minutes,your tempted to write this film off as a female"Big".Not me.See in "Big" he returns back to his youth,in this film she actually does grow up.Alternate realities?? Did time change,in "Big"clearly only he did,here its not so clear. What is a second chance really??Removed 1/2 star only because the science is lacking but in most of these type of films that's to be expected.
The idea of being a teenage girl I can never imagine but its done in such a way that as a man,I sort of understand.Waking up at 30 with no memory is the hook to "Big"but there it ends.Our 13 year old girl wakes up a perfect life or so it seems.Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo  are the leeds and their chemistry together is as fine as I ever have seen in a film.
Now truth is I'm a sucker for body switch or reversal aging films and this is a fabulous film for that genre but it is also a regret and chance to set it right film as well.HIGHLY recommended.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.

A 13 year old girl plays a game on her 13th birthday and wakes up the next day as a 30 year old woman.
