ll Jenna Rink wants is to be popular. She's just about to turn 13, and a humiliating experience in front of the cool kids has left her wishing she could just skip the awkward teenage years. When her friend Matt gives her some wishing dust for her birthday, she wishes to be all grown up. The next morning she wakes up as a 30-year-old woman - with a live-in boyfriend. The only problem is, she's still 13 inside, and when she sees her boyfriend emerge from a shower with no clothes on, she freaks out and quickly covers her eyes. It turns out Jenna's a successful New York City magazine editor. Arriving at the office, she's told, "Eminem's on the phone, he wants a decision now." Jenna's a big Michael Jackson fan, but she's never heard of the rapper and thinks she's being asked about candy. She suggests, "Plain." When that doesn't go over well, she tries, "Peanut?" Jenna decides it's time to find Mark and figure out what happened. |
