So lame, so awful, I wouldn't even know where to start. But here are a few tidbits: Makes "Maid in Manhattan" almost look like high art. Might appeal to 9-14 year-olds but only 9-14 year-olds, say, circa 1982-1987 - and, of course, they would now, like this movie's heroine, be considerably older. One also wonders how the heroine could be friends with someone (the Mark Ruffalo character/T Heads fan)who's into much cooler music than the crap spewed throughout this soundtrack... except that would take us in a circle in which I'd have to then discuss the idiotic plot involving the mentally-challenged heroine's deep desire for the opposite of nerdiness. And, yes, the life-affirming, "Who cares about cool?" theme is cool. However, if you have more than one brain cell holding hands with another, and/or are, again, over 14, the message will be lost as this is one unbearable, illogical, unbelievable cloud of fluff.

EVERYONE SAID HOW GOOD THIS MOVIE WAS SO I RENTED IT. I FELL ASLEEP AN HOUR INTO IT IT WAS SO HORRIBLE. ITS YOUR TYPICAL SNOBBY GIRL VS UNPOPULAR GIRL MOVIE. ITS VERY MUCH LIKE THE MOVIE "JUST FRIENDS" BUT YOUNGER. MY SISTER WHOS 14 COULD PROBABLY RELATE VERY WELL TO THIS MOVIE BECAUSE ITS MORE FOR HER AGE GROUP. IF A TEENAGER HAS A SLEEPOVER THIS IS A GOOD MOVIE TO WATCH. ANYONE PAST THE AGE OF 15 MAY NOT LIKE THIS MOVIE. WERE JUST PAST THATS STAGE IN LIFE.

This is a delightful movie with strong messages about what is important in life. It has some plot similarities to "Big" the Tom Hanks movie about the boy who wishes to become an adult and, through improbable means, gets his wish.
Jenna Rink is a 13 year old girl who is heavily influenced by the fashion culture and she wants to be in with the in crowd girls who are great looking and have great looking boyfriends. When Jenna bargains to get these cool kids to come to a party at her house, they pull a cruel trick on her. She blames it on Matt, her un-hip but sincere guy friend and blows him off. Then she wishes to be "thirty, flirty, and successful" while magic dust that happens to be present, falls on her.
Next thing Jenna remembers, she falls out of bed and is in an apartment and sees a naked man getting out of the shower and addressing her in terms of endearment. She also has about a hundred shoes and an array of makeup. Over time, Jenna figures out what happened. She has time-traveled to a later point in her life with no memory of what happened in between.
Jenna becomes aware that she is at age 30 in the year 2004 (when this movie came out) the editor of one of those fashion magazines that shaped her values as a teenager. She also has an attractive boyfriend, the aforementioned naked man in her apartment. Jenna is successful in the way she defined success. What Jenna finds out about the course of her life in many instances makes her feel ashamed. She has done several unethical things in running the magazine. Also, her friendship with Matt dissolved a long time ago and worse, he is about to marry someone else.
Jenna realizes that the editors at her fashion magazine don't have a clue about real friends and real fun. Jenna's magazine, Poise, as well as its competitor Sparkle are obviously based on Glamour and Cosmopolitan and in some cases the movies may be ridiculing them.
The movie opens with Jenna being 13 in 1987 and includes popular culture from that era. Some of the songs featured, however, were from the early 1980's, were out of style by 1987 and had not yet achieved nostalgic value.
Despite being a chick flick, this movie will make you think.

I tell you, gotta Love Jennifer Garner ! This is just a truly nice, easy going, fun movie, with a great group of songs incorporated into the movie. There have been quite a few of these time travel type movies over the years, which are all enjoyable to watch, and this one for our current day is just great ! For those days you are just stressed or bored or want to step out of reality for a while, just grab a cup of tea, plop down in your favorite chair and pop this movie in, you'll find you are taken away from the stresses of things, at least a little while!
The Thriller Scene is just hilarious !

jennifer garner plays her role just right. great innocence, great drama, great love. it's like she wishes to be 30, then she is and she doesn't know what to do. she a grown up growing up. then she finds out that the real adult world is cruel and backstabbing, and what you need is true friends, and hers is her true love, but he's getting married. so she wishes she can just go back in time. how ironic, but greatly played out. romantic, laughable, and very entertaining. i do recommend.
