This movie was very touching, and it made me tear up. There are sexual references (when they were playing a spin the bottle game & when Garner was going to play "games" with her boyfriend. There is also social drinking, but that is pretty much it.

What Parents Need to Know
About 13 Going on 30
Parents need to know that there is some sexual humor. Jenna is horrified to find a naked man in her apartment (the boyfriend of her grown-up self) and grossed-out by his advances. There are sexual references ("raunchy strip tease," "57 ways to have an orgasm," "jump your bones") and the 13-year-olds play a party game that is supposed to go a lot further than Spin the Bottle. Unlike the male take on this situation in Big, the main character does not take advantage of the adult persona to have sex. Characters use brief strong language and drinking is shown as part of the fun of being a grown-up.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how being a grown-up may be different than it appears to a child. What was the biggest surprise for Jenna? Do you agree with what Jenna's mother said about mistakes? Families might also want to talk about the way middle-schoolers treat one another and how to make sure that you don't grow up with the kind of regrets that Jenna does. Is/was there a "6 Chicks"-type group in your school?

Liked It
This is a very cute movie for teens! Some bad language and drinking is shown, and there are some sexual references. But they don't take away from the movie at all. Jennifer Garner does a very good job :)

A great entertaining movie!
I loved this movie! My favorite part is her dancing to Thriller at the party! What a great flashback! My kids liked this movie because it sort of shows them that being a grown up is not all what is cracked up to be. You have to work and be responsible. Jennifer Garner is fantastic in this role. A must see for any Jen fan!!

still laughing
what can i say. this movie is really funny. when a 13 year old turns 30 from a birthday wish, she's hoping for a better life then when she was 13. it is a great film for kids who want to be older to know that its just as hard to be an adult.

I thought this moive was awesome! I mean when i first watched it i fell in love with it. I can admit that the beginning of the movie was umm okay but the rest was super great. In a way all the stuff that happens in this movie can be related to many teens & adults because when your little you would like to grow up so fast you can take one blink and you'll be old. Thats why i think all kids should see this movie!
