    13 Going on 30 movie commentary reaction
    13 Going on 30 is a movie made for nostalgia. Watching a movie from 2004 with 80's vibes in 2022 seems appropriate and we hope you enjoy our commentary and reaction for it. With themes reminiscent of Big with Tom Hanks, this fun childhood fantasy movie with Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo is well worth revisiting!

    Christa B. Allen has played the younger version of Jennifer Garner’s character twice, the first time in 13 Going On 30 and the second time in Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. She actually got the part in Ghosts of Girlfriends Past because Jennifer liked her so much from 13 Going On 30 that she recommended her to the casting director.

    One of the reasons I loved this movie was *because* Matt didn't dump his fiancé on his wedding day for Jenna. He didn't say he didn't love Wendy. A person *can* love more than one person. The fact that he had the integrity to stay committed made me like his character even more. From his point of view he might have scene a glimpse of his past a few weeks before his wedding day, but how does that make up for 15 years of the Jenna that we found out about? from all accounts the 30 year old Jenna was a horrid person. I wouldn't ditch my fiancé for a "chance" there was a change in character. but because of movie magic it was moot anyway. :)

    • @SusanaCanales1
      @SusanaCanales1 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I think it was good he didn’t get with her right away but honestly, I think it was bad he would marry Wendy anyway. It just seems like he was marrying her just to marry her. He didn’t really show much interest in her in the movie and that can’t really be all because of Jenna. You CAN love more than one person but that’s honestly irrelevant if the other person isn’t aware or okay with it. Most people would not be okay with it.

    The real Jennifer Garner is the opposite of her character, she’s very unassuming and hates being noticed. I sat in front of her at a play in New York one time. She wore no makeup and jeans and her hair in a ponytail and I recognized her on the way to grab a drink at the bar, I didn’t ask for an autograph but told her I recognized her and was a big fan, she laughed a bit embarrassed and shocked that I recognized her, I offered to buy her a drink and she said “I’ll pay for both our drinks if you do me a favor and bring me back a vodka & tonic so I don’t have to get up” which I did, she was very sweet and thanked me.

This is someone who wants statues erected in honor of the pedophiles who Kyle Rittenhouse shot in self defense after they attacked him and others and set fire to public and private property simply because they marched alongside BLM protesters even though they were exposed as obvious racists during the trial. He even came up with cutesy pet names for them that he lovingly refers to them as on Twitter. The guy is vile and embarrassing and tone deaf and cares about no one except himself.

    I think the pitch was meant to be about capturing "real" moments, reporting on "real" inspiring women and focusing on becoming more empowering through realism than fashion - at least that's what I have always interpreted it as. You could also add to it by saying to tell the stories of the models instead of just using their likeness.

    • @crystalrose_pa
      @crystalrose_pa 2 ปีที่แล้ว +74

      I always understood too that part of her pitch was using local women who have achievable bodies as their models because it ties back to the beginning when she was looking at the magazine wanting to look like a model when she was 13.

    • @heyitsmira17
      @heyitsmira17 2 ปีที่แล้ว +37

      Exactly! It was less about putting down fashion or models, and more about making people feel more connected to what they consume through the magazine. So instead of publishing content with models and standards that are made for you to feel like it's unreachable, they'd publish content the average woman could relate to.

    • @Melkac
      @Melkac 2 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      @MADEbySOUL 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Plus “real” was meant to point out the models don’t even match with their magazine photos. So basically if their face isn’t edited, its a head on a liquified/different body. So the woman in the magazine doesn’t even exist. It isn’t about the model because they probably hate being distorted on magazines too. Its about the industry picking apart people.

    Was literally squealing when I saw you guys are doing this film. This is one of the ultimate classics. I really adore this film.

Also the friends to lovers trope is just chef's kiss. Mark Ruffalo is the ultimate boy next door/best friend leading man; he's just so charming.

    I think the pitch was that she focused so much on beauty standards that they didn't take into account women who don't look like the magazines

    Can’t wait till I’m in my 30s to use that line “30, flirting, and thriving” 😂 how silly. Also, please let us know if “aquamarine” is on the list??? It’s the perfect 2000s summer movie about friendship. Every other reactor (very few) has said it actually has a good message. Would love to hear your thoughts on it!!!

    Funny story about my Sr prom. So basically my hr porm no one danced like at all it was quite boring but then I went to my Sr prom and again no one was dancing and so me and my friends went right up to the front of the room by the dj and started dancing in a circle and having fun and eventually everyone was dancing so basically me and my friends started the dance at my Sr prom and I definitely agree with crowd theory

    I’ve been waiting for this movie, thanks guys for reacting to it! One of my favorites and definitely one of the best romantic comedies of all time. It’s so full of heart and it teaches you lessons about friendship, love, and life in general.

    The pina colada song is about trying to cheat on your partner, meeting the person you planned to cheat on your partner with, and the person is your partner XD
    The dude was tired of his wife and the old routine so he read the personal ads in the paper and saw one that described a woman he would love to meet so he wrote to her and told her he enjoyed all of those things and they decided to meet at a bar and when he walked in the woman who had written the ad was his wife.
    Have y'all listened to The Macarena? All those kids dancing to a song about a woman having a threesome with her bf's best friends while he was out of town

  • @buffytunes208
    @buffytunes208 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    i think what they were going for in her pitch was vertical vs horizontal comparison.
    vertical where ppl compare themselves too much with people with more money or status, horizontal where ppl compare themselves with their peers and neighbors.
    especially since jenna went from before the digital age, to the 2000s where ppl were being introduced to the first ever influencers like paris hilton, and the 2000s and 90s were full body shaming and the desired look was heroin chic.

  • @DreamieQueen
    @DreamieQueen 2 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    Something I love about this movie is the cast. The young and adult actors really look alike. It's honestly one of my pet peeves when actors who represent the characters as a kid/adult don't look alike or don't have the same eye/hair color, features or whatever.

    • @heyitsmira17
      @heyitsmira17 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Vienna also became a comfort song to me. It's good for when you feel anxious and worried about adult life. The scene of her going back to her parents' house for comfort breaks my heart though... I always cry because of how much I relate to that need of care and reassurance from your family, even when you're already grown up.

    This is my absolutely #1 favorite rom com movie ever 😭❤️ I love the chemistry between the two main leads. I’m not 30 yet, but when I’m down and discouraged about life I quote ‘30, flirty, and thriving’ all the time to motivate me to keep going✨

    You guys think it’s weird she’s in denial that she has been magically transported into the future and is in her future body. The reason is because that it’s impossible. And when the impossible happens, you may need some time to accept and adjust.

    you see that back then movie producers still remembered the late 80s early 90s because they didn't put fucking overdone and unstyled perms everywhere (back then your perm would still work as a base to style your hair onto; you would do a brushing or smth on it to style it and maybe leave it unstyled on more casual occasions and it had been popular for the best part of a decade so kids and teens would already start to phase out of it, also some people still didn't care to perm their hair the same way not everyone bleaches their hair today)
    I forgot how genuine and real this film felt

    This movie's a little whack, but honestly one of, if not my all time fave romcom... This, coming from someone who absolutely despises cheesy romance movies! 😤 In reality, I think it's moreso for the sole reason of Jennifer Garner, after loving her in Alias 😂🤷‍♀️ Cheers for another movie reaction you two, keen to watch later in the morning!

    I actually do like the change in her style throughout the movie…cause at first she is just like a 13 year old dressing in whatever she wanted, but she starts maturing and actually styling herself in a youthful way but with the maturity she has gained as a person

    "mate's rates" that new lingo for me! In the US we say "friends and family discount" but yeah it's big time r/choosingbeggars type of BS. If they are your friends or family and you hire them for their services don't try to get it on the cheap - if you're a good friend of family member you would pay full price PLUS extra to help out their business!

    IMO (which I know is probably uncommon) friends should pay their friends MORE for their services because they love them and want them to succeed. I've always tried to do this, but I understand if others feel differently. At the very least you should pay them their base rate.

    Some fun facts I learned about the movie:
    >When they found the little girl who matched Judy Greer they were really shocked and excited about finding a perfect match
    >Kid Matty(?) had to wear a fat suit for his role (I don’t think it should have been necessary)
    I always had fun watching this movie! Jenna just has a bright and caring spirit and it’s nice to see her learn and grow throughout the movie ☺️ I’m happy you two watched the movie!!
    Edit: thank you for all the likes! Remember to support the creators☺️💖
