Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 14 comments (13 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) — none of them described how it moves.
So the shape below is not a measured arc. It is this title's overall sentiment held flat across the runtime, with the widest uncertainty band we draw. People talked about this title; they did not talk about how it paces.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“The rare commercial comedy that leaves you entranced by what can happen only in the movies.”
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly · 91
“Nearly perfect in its own cotton-candy way.”
Peter Debruge, Premiere · 88
“Solidly entertaining.”
James Berardinelli, ReelViews · 75
“While 13 Going on 30 is too formulaic to sustain the delicacy of emotion that gave "Big" its appeal, it has tour-de-farce moments that made screenwriters Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa's "What Women Want" such a monster hit.”
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer · 75
“Garner's vulnerable, winning performance strikes emotional chords (not to mention nostalgia) in this fantasy comedy.”
Ellen A. Kim, Seattle Post-Intelligencer · 75

“Let's say it was enjoyable. I think it's because there's so much stories like this nowadays with time travel but I don't really know why it's such a classic. Good acting though but too camp for me.”

“I guess this movie is my secret pleasure. I've read the other reviews that call it predictable, and I concede the arc lands just where you (secretly) want it too. But Jennifer Garner is so lovely, charming, and endearing that she steals my heart every time I watch the movie. And the supporting cast is amazing. Sure, it's easy to nitpick what might be better, but better to just sit back and suspend disbelief and have fun.”

“On her 13th birthday Jenna makes a wish that she could be 30 years old, but when that wish comes true, she soon finds that being an adult is quite what she thought it’d be. There is no getting away from the fact that this is essentially the female version of ‘Big’, and it can’t really compare to the much loved 80’s comedy. Jennifer Garner certainly gives it her all in the lead role, and it’s enjoyable enough in a good natured rom-com sort of way, but it’s a little predictable and surprisingly la”

“13 Going on 30 offers a charming story that reveals the complexities of adulthood, contrasting youthful fantasies with real-life challenges. The film is well-structured, blending humor and touching moments, though its ending focuses mainly on romance, missing deeper exploration of Jenna’s career ambitions. With strong performances, especially from Jennifer Garner, and a fitting soundtrack, this lighthearted film remains a delightful watch perfect for weekend replays. Read the full review here”
