My daughters & I just saw this movie & it was so sweet. I teared up more than a few times and the 80's scenes brought back so many memories. I actually owned some of the clothes they were wearing!!

I cant wait to see this...do you think an 8 yr old boy would like it..or is it more of a girly movie?

It's probably more of an older girls' movie. My 8 yr old daughter fell asleep, which was probably good since there were a few parts that weren't really appropriate for her. My 11 yr old daughter loved it & she even cried.

My dd went to see it last night with friends and loved it. She said it was a very sweet movie and she even cried a few times which means when I see it, I will REALLY cry. My dd is 18 and I asked her about inappropriateness for a 10 year old and she said there is a part where her boyfriend strips down to his underwear for her and they do call her a b***** , so I guess it's up to you. You know your daughter better than anyone else if that would bother her or not.

my 8yr son loved Freaky Friday..and I thought that was a girly movie..he enjoyed the comedy..I think I might wait and rent this ..then if he is bored he can just go upstairs

I read that Jen Garner may be the next Julia Roberts

I am excited to see this movie since I am almost 30! I hope it has a lot of references I can relate to.

The only inappropriate parts were a couple of sex references, but it's really hard to find movies without them nowadays. It was fine for my older daughter & I still would have taken both of them, but I was glad my younger daughter missed a couple things while she was asleep. Also I should say the main reason she probably fell asleep is because she is a very early riser, so she usually falls asleep pretty early. When I asked her today what she thought of the part of the movie she saw, she said she thought it was really funny. She also couldn't understand why I cried when it was a funny movie. She doesn't understand yet that you don't only cry when you're sad. :-)

holly (who is 13) absolutely loved it! the "inappropriate parts" are just exactly what mamie said. jennifer garner acts just like my 13 year old acts now. she was wonderful!

Sounds like I should take my 14 year old son! LOL
I saw Tina Fey on a talk show and she said they based the story on "Queen Bees and Wannabees" which is a great, but serious book. She said she got tickled by the examples.

kind of essence, except for the fact that she has evidence of the years between 13 and 30, like a parallel universe. i don't want to get into details so i don't mess up the movie for you. i (as a woman) actually enjoyed this movie better. big was charming for it's time, this was a movie of making choices.

This movie is a similar to "Big", but I think "Big" is far superior. JMO, as Big is one of my all time favorites and has a certain magic for me that the other movies like this don't.

I did enjoy this movie a lot and really enjoyed the two lead performances. I don't watch Alias so I haven't seen much of Garner, but she was good here. I've seen Raffalo and he has never been so appealing or cute.

The movie seemed really tame to me and probably okay for pre-teens.

DD (almost 13) and I saw this over the weekend. It was a really cute "feel good" kind of movie and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Jennifer Garner was wonderful! I loved how she really pegged down acting 13!! A very cute movie, we would recommend it.
