13 Going on 30 (2004 Gary Winick)

Written by married couple Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa (What Women Want) in the Big vein. Jennifer Garner realises that in achieving all her goals in becoming a famous magazine publisher, she's become a bitch and lost contact with the best person in her life, now grown up to be Mark Ruffalo (who lives in the Village, so that's cool). Actually there's lots of good NYC footage here.

Anyway, Judy Greer, Andy Serkis, Marcia DeBonis and Kathy Baker contribute something, but it's kind of instantly forgettable, and doesn't make enough use of its premise. Adding the marriage scene in at the end after the back-to-age-13 is a no no. Thriller dance routine only works because it worked in the first place, if you see what I mean.
