The film is about a 13-year-old girl in 1987 who awakens to find herself suddenly 30 years old and living in 2004 as a fashion editor.13 Going on 30 received generally positive reviews from critics, with many praising Garner's performance and its nostalgic environment. It was also praised for its humorous plot and self-empowering message. The film was also a commercial success, earning $22 million in its first week and becoming one of the year's biggest-selling DVD rental titles. Its total box office was over $96 million. Additionally, the soundtrack charted inside the top 50 on the US Billboard 200 chart. Garner's acting earned her nominations from both the MTV Movie Awards and the Teen Choice Awards.PlotIn 1987, nerdy 13-year-old Jenna Rink yearns to be popular, so she persuades the Six Chicks, her school's ruling clique led by Tom-Tom, to attend her 13th birthday party by doing their homework for them. Jenna's best friend and next-door neighbor, Matty Flamhaff, secretly in love with her, gives her a dollhouse he made himself and sprinkles the roof with "magic wishing dust." The Six Chicks arrive with a group of boys, including Jenna's crush, Chris Grandy, and deceive the naive Jenna into believing he is going to play "seven minutes in heaven" with her while they leave with the completed homework. When Matty discovers what happened, a humiliated Jenna barricades herself and tearfully wishes to be "30 and flirty and thriving" as the wishing dust sprinkles on her.The following morning, Jenna is shocked to find herself in a luxurious Fifth Avenue apartment as an adult in 2004, dating a young man she does not recognize and with no memory of the intervening 17 years. Upon further investigation, she learns that she now works as an editor for her favorite fashion magazine, Poise, alongside co-editor and best friend, Lucy Wyman, who is also grown up. However, the magazine is falling behind its arch-rival Sparkle, which her editor-in-chief, Richard Kneeland, believes is the work of a saboteur. A confused Jenna locates Matty, now a struggling photographer, in Greenwich Village in the hopes of learning what happened. She discovers that she became the new head of the Six Chicks, stopped speaking to him and Lucy is Tom-Tom.In her new adult life, Jenna spends time with and advises teenagers, saves a dull office party by leading the guests, including Matty, in an impromptu "Thriller" line dance, and meets Matty's fiancée, Wendy. However, Jenna gradually learns that her adult self had plagiarized ideas, became estranged from her parents, and cheated with a co-worker's husband. Furthermore, she overhears Lucy plotting to remove her from her presentation on a rebranding for Poise. Jenna returns to her childhood home in New Jersey to reunite with her parents before reconciling with Matty and hiring him to help with her presentation. They gradually fall for each other throughout, even though Wendy is eager for Matty to move to Chicago.Jenna's presentation proves successful, but Lucy lies to Matty, claiming Jenna did not use his photos but has him sign them over. While looking for Matty to deliver the good news, Jenna finds Wendy, who reveals that her wedding to him is the next day. Moreover, she learns from Kneeland that Lucy became Sparkle{{'}}s new editor-in-chief by using Jenna's presentation. Outraged, she confronts Lucy, who scornfully reveals that Jenna sabotaged Poise in exchange for a position at Sparkle, though Lucy took the job first.Jenna rushes to Matty's childhood home, where the wedding is about to take place, to reveal what happened and to convince him to give their relationship a chance. Matty explains that he already knew of Lucy's deception and has never trusted her since childhood, but too many years have passed. Still caring for Jenna, he gives her the dollhouse, which he kept despite everything, and confesses that he always loved her. A tearful Jenna leaves with the dollhouse as a breeze swirls remnants of the wishing dust around her without her knowing.Opening her eyes, Jenna reawakens from the dust to find herself back in 1987 on her 13th birthday, where no time has passed. When Matty finds her huddled alone in the closet, she happily embraces and kisses him. Realizing that Lucy is not a true friend, Jenna confronts her and destroys the homework she worked on for the Six Chicks. With this second chance, Jenna lives the subsequent 17 years differently and eventually goes onto become happily married to Matty. The newlywed couple then move into a suburban house resembling the dollhouse.Cast{{Cast list|
