13 Going on 30

A 13-year-old girl with typical adolescent problems wishes she were a grown-up and magically awakens inside a 30-year-old body. Now she has to deal with a high-powered job as a magazine editor and figure out why she's no longer friendly with her onetime soul mate, the boy who lived next door. Variation on (rip-off of?) BIG is plottier than it needs to be but is energized by the irresistible charm of Garner, in her first starring vehicle; Ruffalo is also good as her childhood pal grown up.
