History YMMV / ThirteenGoingOnThirty

* CriticalResearchFailure: The key songs 13-year-old Jenna likes are "Jessie's Girl," "Thriller" and "Love Is A Battlefield." The movie kicks off in 1987, long after they were hits - which could explain why adult Jenna breaks into a bit of actual 1987 hit "Everybody Have Fun Tonight."
* {{Demonization}}: Fans of the film tend to do this to Wendy, treating her like she’s awful towards Matt and their relationship is unhealthy. In reality, the worst things we see her do are [[SweetheartSipping take some food from her fiancé’s plate without asking first]] and [[HaveWeMet slightly misremember the name of a complete stranger whom she had only met once previously and spoken to for maybe thirty seconds]] (calling her Jenn-Y instead of Jenn-A).

* HilariousInHindsight: Certainly for Marvel comics fans due to the fact that this movie includes [[Film/{{Daredevil}} Elektra]] as Jenna Rink, [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Dr. Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk]] as Matt as an adult, [[VideoGame/UltimateSpiderMan Spider-Man]] as teenaged Matt, [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron Ulysses Klaue]] as Richard, [[Film/AntMan Maggie Lang]] as Lucy "Tom-Tom" Wyman, and [[Film/CaptainMarvel Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel]] as one of the Six Chicks.

* TearJerker: Jenna breaking down over the big grown up world of hurt to Music/BillyJoel's "Vienna."
** Jenna gradually finding out [[spoiler: what a {{Jerkass}} she's been as an adult.]]

* BrokenBase: The film was positively received and is warmly remembered by many people, while others consider it just a bad movie.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: The Thriller choreography (yeah, the one from MichaelJackson) is freaking awesome.

* BrokenBase: The film was positively received and is warmly remembered by many people, while others consider it just a bad movie more.

* BaseBreaker: The film was positively received and is warmly remembered by many people, while others consider it just a bad movie more.
** SoBadItsGood: The movie is often found in the five-dollar discount bin at Walmart, and routinely airs on FX, yet it has a three out of four star rating just the same.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: To Matt's fiance.
** Maybe she also got to go back and fulfill one of her own childhood dreams? This film is about second chances.
** When Jenna goes back to her 13 year old self and everything reverts, Matt never has the chance to meet her, so she's never his fiancee.

* PlayingAgainstType: Jennifer Garner was best known as the Badass ActionGirl of ''Alias,'' so seeing her in this was definitely a switch.
* SoOkayItsAverage: This movie won't be a classic anytime soon.
** In fact, it's almost always in Walmart's $5 discount bin.

* {{Adorkable}}: Teen!Jenna, both in the 80s and in 2004, and to a more meta extent, Jennifer Garner. If her utter enthusiam and enjoyment of life doesn't get you, the Thriller dance will.
