Overdone

Rating: 5/10 (1 March 2005)

It's trite, it's simple, it's clichéd, it's predictable ... just like the Jennifer (Alias) Garner vehicle 13 GOING ON 30. I don't know how much Mark Ruffalo was paid for that movie, but it's a bummer that Kevin James would get caught up in this mess and so would Michael Rapaport of Copland (Superfly!) fame.
Oh well ... I got dragged into this tongue-in-cheek "ha-ha" flick and unfortunately enjoyed it despite the so-so acting. Everything was so polished, somehow the studios managed to sneak one by us.
The editing was fairly good, as was the soundtrack. The abundance of "hot women" never hurts, but Will Smith does just enough to get by (and get paid).
