The film is about a 13-year-old girl in 1987 who makes a wish, and 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 profit 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. Plot In 1987 in New Jersey, nerdy 13-year-old Jenna Rink yearns to be popular. She persuades the Six Chicks, her school's ruling clique led by "Tom-Tom", to attend her birthday party by doing their homework for them. Jenna's best friend and next-door neighbor Matty Flamhaff, secretly in love with her, gifts her a handmade dollhouse and sprinkles the roof with "magic wishing dust." The Six Chicks arrive with a group of boys, including Jenna's crush Chris Grandy. They trick Jenna into believing Chris is going to play "seven minutes in heaven" with her while they leave with the completed homework. When Matty discovers her in the closet, a humiliated Jenna barricades herself and tearfully wishes to be "thirty and flirty and thriving" as the wishing dust falls on her. The next morning, Jenna awakens as an adult in a luxurious Fifth Avenue apartment in 2004. She is dating a young man she does not recognize and with no memory of the intervening seventeen years. Upon further investigation, she learns that she now works as an editor for her favorite fashion magazine, Poise, alongside her co-editor and best friend, Lucy Wyman. 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. He explains that in high school, she became the new head of the Six Chicks and subsequently stopped speaking to him; she also learns that Lucy is Tom-Tom. As Jenna adjusts to her new adult life, she gradually learns that the person she has become is nothing like her shy, sweet teenage self; the adult Jenna plagiarized ideas, became estranged from her parents, and had an affair with a co-worker's husband. After overhearing Lucy plotting to remove her from a presentation on a Poise rebrand, Jenna returns to her childhood home to reunite with her parents before reconciling with Matty and hiring him to help with her presentation. They gradually fall for each other, although Matty's fiancée, Wendy, is eager for him to move to Chicago with her. Jenna's presentation proves successful, but Lucy lies to Matty and claims Jenna did not use his photos, having him sign them over to her instead. While looking for Matty to deliver the good news, Jenna finds Wendy, who reveals that their wedding is the next day. Moreover, she learns from Kneeland that Lucy became Sparkles new editor-in-chief by using Jenna's presentation. Outraged, she confronts Lucy, who scornfully reveals that Jenna is the one who 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 explain what happened, though Matty says he already knew the truth. She tries to convince him to give their relationship a chance, promising that she is not the awful person she appears to be. Matty acknowledges his feelings for her, but rejects Jenna anyway, claiming that too many years have passed. Matt gives her the dollhouse, which he has kept despite their estrangement, and confesses that he has always loved her. Jenna goes next door to her childhood home and breaks down in tears while holding the dollhouse. A breeze swirls some remnants of the wishing dust around her. Jenna reawakens back in 1987 on her thirteenth birthday. When Matty finds her huddled alone in the closet, she happily embraces and kisses him. Jenna berates Lucy and her friends, destroys their completed homework, and ousts them from her house. With this second chance, Jenna lives the subsequent seventeen years differently, eventually going on to marry Matty. The newlywed couple then moves into a suburban house resembling the dollhouse Matty gave Jenna on her thirteenth birthday.
