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
At Jenna's 13th birthday party in 1987, they drink Diet Coke from cans with 2003 graphics.

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.

I Never Realized what a Schmuck I Actually Am

Until I forced myself to sit down and watch this entire movie. Completely prepared to despise it after reading all the negative reviews; but am a big Ruffalo fan, and have always liked Jennifer Garner. After the first 20 minutes, my tv remote channel change button was almost completely pressed until Michael Jackson's huge "Thriller" party number commenced. Admittedly, I'm a big '80's fan; which of course factored into my thorough enjoyment of this flick! Madonna, Pat Benatar hits...awesome dude!! Honestly Ruffalo and Garner had great chemistry and gave sweet performances. Any movie that makes me laugh and cry is a keeper. No spoilers; but if you loved "Big" (who didn't...and yes a better movie), you will also love "13". You'll just need to give it a little time :)
