Anybody want to take a stab at writing this 13 Going On 30 review for me?

Yeah. Tom Hanks grew boobs. The end.

Didn't we see this 15 years ago with "Big?"

As the needle slipped into my neck and the drugs flowed into my system, I slowly but surely lost the urge to claw my eyes out, and I yielded to the men holding my arms behind my back.

Thank goodness I had bought the large popcorn and drink. There's free refills on those, and they don't mind if the first batch was spilled in a self-mutilating incident.

"I liked it the first time I saw it, when it was called 'A Decomposing Possum Carcass in the Highway 290 Median'"

Try focusing on Garner's breast-lathering shower scene. Even if the movie didn't contain one.

Hey now --
It was what it was. A cute little movie. I liked it. I realize that Pete only went so that he could pacify me (I know that is a nice way of saying so that he could still get laid), but you shouldn't slam it just because it isn't your type of movie.

Boy, THAT'S a weeinie-shrinker!
I suddenly have this urge to shuffle out of this blog, head hung in shame, very quietly.

I'm trying to think of other reasons to slam a movie, and not being schooled in the critical arts a la Pete, I'm having a difficult time.

At least all is bliss in the Cromulent household.

Fame always comes with a price my friend. Some days you get to review Hellboy but then some days you get to shovel out the stables...Looking forward to your television debut.

Looking forward to the review you end up with, but any idea why Texas gal Renee Zelweger dropped out of it? I guess it's probably a rhetorical question, given that the movie just doesn't sound too good...

I'll suggest because it's bad. E.g., the Dungeons & Dragons movie was my type of movie, it just happened to stink like a cartoon skunk lathered in limburger and garnished with poo.

13 Going on 30 isn't particularly my type of movie, but far more damning a criticism is that there is simply nothing in the trailer I feel an inclination to laugh at.
