Not bad, I guess. Nothing special. This super annoying exaggeratedly depicted with unbelievable clothing, hair and make up. Just no. Jennifer Garner on the other hand is so beautiful that it's a pleasure to watch her. That's all. BeautifulNot bad, I guess. Nothing special.

We follow a young girl's journey as she feels that being older will give her more pleasures and less disappointments in life. When she locks herself in her closet, and makes her wish... she finds herself waking up the next morning as a 30 year old, living with, what we may assume, is her boyfriend, but she has no recollection of anything that may have happened in between the 17 years, and she tries to find answers. She discovers that she is working at a job that she loves, and that she is successful at it, but her former best friend (played by Mark Ruffalo), still resents her after the way she turned him down when they were teenagers. But, she needs him more than ever. This movie is funny and has a lot of charm in it. Garner and Ruffalo share terrific chemistry together as two former friends, who could be something more. The movie, however, is just not as touching as it could have been, I feel that there could have been more emotional weight put into some scenes and maybe one or two more struggles along the journey, but overall, Jennifer Garner is lovely here, leading the movie so effortlessly, and the premise, while far from original, does live up to some expectations.… Expand

Ningún adolescente en su sano juicio quisiera despertarse una mañana cualquiera y tener 30 años, en la realidad es más bien al revés, sin embargo, es una comedia divertida después de todo.

There is no getting away from the fact that this is essentially the female version of ‘Big’, and it can’t really compare to the much loved 80’s comedy. Jennifer Garner certainly gives it her all in the lead role, and it’s enjoyable enough in a good natured rom-com sort of way, but it’s a little predictable and surprisingly lacking in truly funny scenes.… Expand
