    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Jennifer Garner was very happy with the studio's choice of Christa B. Allen to play the young Jenna Rink. She felt Allen really embodied her at that age, and later got the producers of Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) to cast Allen in a similar role.
    • Goofs
      Immediately after Jenna presents her new magazine design, Richard hugs her and tells the group they will present it to corporate "tomorrow morning." His lips clearly say "Friday morning."
    • Quotes

      Becky: Why are you talking to me?

      Jenna Rink: Why not? We are neighbors, right?

      Becky: But you usually ignore me.

      Jenna Rink: I like your shoes.

      Becky: Thanks. I like your dress.

      Jenna Rink: That's because I have these incredible boobs to fill it out!

    • Crazy credits
      As you near the end of the closing credits, the song "Love Is a Battlefield", performed by Pat Benatar, blends to include the audio of the girls singing along during their sleepover.

    8/10

    Funny comedy with a slight touch of fantasy. Recommended.

    This is a very entertaining movie oriented for a teenager audience that is able to enjoy romantic light comedies mixed with fantasy and some situations that deal with the imagination of a young girl.

    This movie, unlike "Freaky Friday" deals with more mature issues such as having a couple, labor life, and more.

    Still, there's plenty of light comedy and even a great "Thriller" choreography. (R.I.P. MJ).

    So, I can recommend this movie for those who enjoy romantic comedies with a touch of fantasy.

    Jennifer Garner delivers a funny, super sexy performance. She demonstrates she's a very talented actress when it has to do with comedy.

    Mark Ruffalo is an underrated actor and delivers a fine performance.

    Overall this is a funny movie.
