Jennifer Garner's hilarious portrayal of Jenna Rink has captured the young hearts who want independence by being old. The 2004 film 13 Going On 30 depicts how fame and richness have always been the goal of the young generation. But despite all the achievements granted to them, happiness and self-worth were never attained. Thus, life has always been difficult and sad.
As the movie reaches its 15th year after its release, the lead actress, Jennifer Garner was quick enough to respond. The film which gained the reputation of being one of the five biggest DVD rentals of the year, with over $57 million in rentals alone will not have a sequel. This was answered by Garner during her interview last Friday on Good Morning America, as the film was remembered and cherished by her fans, bringing in good vibes and lessons in life.
However, Jennifer Garner dropped it all by saying "Leave Well Enough Alone," implying that the story of Jenna Rink and her friend turned-hunky in the future, Matty Flamhaff, deserves a happy ending. The film 13 Going on 30 ended just like the typical romantic-comedy-fantasy plot of happily ever after when the two main characters are finally married. Since "magical dust" from dollhouses cannot solve marital problems, a sequel is most likely not effective with all the inconsistencies of the story to the realities of life.
Same is true for Jennifer Garner's journey in marrying her once-before prince charming, Ben Affleck. The former A-list couple was not able to avoid the occurrence of divorce and a broken family. However, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were able to build a strong foundation of effective co-parenting that they are now utilizing for their three children.
Jennifer Garner further recalls her co-star, actress Judy Greer, and their immediate bond despite the latter being the "mean girl." The Alias star considers the Jurassic World star as her "frenemy" and had fun working with her. Garner also considers Greer as one of her closest friends until this time.
Mark Ruffalo starred as Jenna's best friend, the geeky boy Matty Flamhaff with a nickname "Beaver" because of his resemblance to the star of Leave It to Beaver. The Avengers star remembered himself as a newbie in the industry at the time when he was doing the film while Jennifer Garner was already a household name. Mark Ruffalo has similar memories with the film and his co-star Jennifer Garner was sweet and lovely.
