Far too young. I was surprised how much I enjoyed 13 Going On 30. To be honest the name doesn't ring any bells but the body of work speaks for itself.

You enjoyed 13 Going on 30????? Man..... dude...... why????

I loved Letters to Juliet, but hated Suddenly 30 (although I guess that was more the screenwriter's fault).

Yeah, I didn't go for Suddenly 30 either. I half-watched Lisa watch Letters To Juliet, and it seemed quite good, but I wouldn't watch it myself.
