Biggest Swing

The film jumps from a slow, dragging opening to Jennifer Garner's universally praised performance as adult Jenna discovering her new life.

13 Going on 30 starts slowly but finds its footing through Jennifer Garner's charming performance and nostalgic 80s elements. The film peaks during Garner's fish-out-of-water moments and the iconic Thriller sequence, maintaining solid sentiment through romantic developments before delivering a satisfying feel-good ending.
