13 Going on 30

| | Comments (2) | TrackBacks (0)

We saw this movie at a theatre in Y'Bor, Florida -- it's the old town of Tampa. They have a neat little area all restored ... you can walk around and shop, get an ice-cream cone, sit and watch the ships coming and leaving from port. They also have a 20-screen movie theatre! We went with 13 Going on 30 based solely on the fact that I am a total Alias junkie. I love all things Alias, which includes anything to do with Jennifer Garner.

I give the movie 3 stars, and not 5 stars, because its not an original concept. The movie is soooo much like Tom Hanks' Big - right down to the young-at-heart Garner being the one responsible for saving her company (electronic comic books, anyone?) So, it doesn't get full points for great plot and originality. I loved Big ... and liked this movie. Garner was believable in the role - probably because even on Alias, Garner comes off as a girl you could be friends with in real life.

It's a total chick-flick ... bless my husband for being a sweetheart and seeing this film with me. He gets good hubby points for that. (Although, he's also an Alias fan - so he got some Garner time in as well! But he's not the fan-girl I am ... ;) ) Girls, go see it - you'll think about your junior high and high-school days ... what type of girl were you??

How's Florida?

It was great! Other than our flight today being delayed by an hour (due to a really bad rainstorm in Tampa) -- it was a nice relaxing trip. We spent all day yesterday on the Gulf -- in Clearwater, Honeymoon Island, and then down on Sand Key Island. I'm only sporting a few new freckles too ;)
