Jenna Rink (Allen) is a typical pre-teen – she thinks her parents are “dorky,” wants to be accepted by the “cool kids” and she bores easily. To celebrate her 13th birthday, Jenna decides to throw a big party and invite all the popular kids from school. The party doesn’t end well and Jenna is humiliated, so she wishes she could be 30 years old and have the life she always wanted. Jenna (Garner) wakes up the next day to discover that she has flash-forwarded 17 years. She's thirty, beautiful and a successful magazine editor who has a handsome hockey-player boyfriend. Lucy (Judy Greer), one of the popular girls who used to torment her, is one of her best friends and a co-worker. On the outside, it appears she has all she ever wished for. Unfortunately, she quickly realizes her best friend and crush, Matt (Ruffalo), is not part of her life anymore, her co-workers actually hate her and she is underhanded in her business dealings. To make matters worse, she finds out Matt is engaged and getting married soon. Having received everything she thought she wanted, her wish now is that it’s not too late to give first love a second chance.
