A Throwback to a Beloved Rom-Com
If you're a fan of 2004’s classic romantic comedy 13 Going on 30, you’ll be thrilled to know that Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo just reunited, and the internet can't get enough. These two stars, who played the iconic roles of Jenna Rink and Matty Flamhaff, have managed to recreate the same on-screen chemistry that had us all swooning back in the day. But this reunion is more than just a trip down memory lane—it’s a rekindling of a friendship and connection that began almost two decades ago.
Back to Where It All Began
For those who might need a quick refresher, 13 Going on 30 tells the story of 13-year-old Jenna, who wishes to escape her awkward adolescence by waking up in her 30-year-old body.
