Thirteen-year-old Jenna (Shana Dowdeswell) has had enough with the trials of adolescence. In addition to being saddled with a devoted-but-nerdy best friend, Matt (Sean Marquette), she falls victim to one of the dangers of playing Seven Minutes in Heaven with the coolest kids in school: being stranded without a willing make-out partner. Humiliated, Jenna buries herself in the aforementioned make-out closet, wishing she could skip the whole adolescence bit and move straight into adulthood, and miraculously wakes just weeks away from her 30th birthday. Of course, a lot has changed since going to bed the night before, not the least of which being an impressive set of womanly curves. The new, older Jenna (Jennifer Garner) is a successful magazine editor with friends in high places and a lion's share of potential suitors -- including a hockey-playing boyfriend and a swarthy married man. The problem is that her mind hasn't matured with her body; Jenna not only finds living on her own more terrifying than cool, but is quick to dismiss any male over the age of 14 as "gross." Half excited, half mortified, Jenna seeks out Matt (Mark Ruffalo), whom she learns she had spurned as a teenager in an effort to join the popular crowd.---> a funny but an inspiring movie telling you that you don't have to skip parts of your life just so because something bad happened to you. a lot of younger people really wants to feel grown-up already; having to do adult stuffs like sleeping late, wearing make up, going out with friends and coming home late. i also felt that when i was younger but now that I've grown, it's like you wanted to turn back time, because it's really a pain to be an adult. being an adult means more responsibilities in life. we have to think of other people's lives unlike before when all that mattered were just toys, school and homework. it's really hard but that's part of life. and what's good about it is that we can learn a lot from these experiences, it helps us build a stronger, a more mature and a more faithful person within all of us. we can't definitely just be 13 y.o now and be 30 y.o tomorrow, we can never fast forward time. all we can do is to be patient and make most of our lives hoping that along the way, we gradually achieve all our dreams and be the person we wanted to be.
