13 Going on 30 - Jenna meets Matt's fiancé Wendy

[@CrazyDiamond1266]

I have to say, I enjoy the fact that this movie doesn't make Wendy a villain. Yes, she's an obstacle to the protagonists, but that's not her fault. She seems like a genuinely nice person, she's just not the right one for Matt, because he and Jenna belong together

[@julia_azrina]

Eowyn of Rohan i agree, not all love movies must have bad guys😂

[@nadimabbas4093]

But this one does. The true villain is actually Lucy aka Tom-Tom because she has been bullying Jenna since childhood and is now her co-worker at Poise. She tries throughout the entire film to usurp Jenna's position as head editor by pretending to be her friend so she can secretly sabotage her and destroy her. She's the real threat, not Wendy

[@Davey74Boy]

That's right. Jenna made her wish (choice) and our choices do indeed have consequences! Wendy was a nice but wasn't right for Matt. I think he was settling for her. Jenna was very fortunate to have been able to undo her earlier wish so she could be with Matt. Jenna needed to not judge a book by its cover.

[@tcvttcvt4305]

Eowyn of Rohan Yeah but they make sure she's not completely likeable though , there's something a tad arrogant about her

[@kailah7812]

She was still shady asf lmaoo

[@fayemckither3107]

I like how Alex is genuinely nice lol they didn’t make him a douchebag. The only villain was Jenna’s blonde “friend”

[@TheStepmonkey]

Exactly, Alex is a goofy guy

[@nellswell]

"I crack a lot of jokes after we win on account of because I'm in such a good mood." 🤣

[@willn8664]

I actually feel bad for Alex because the 30 yr old Jenna is as we know a bitch like Lucy is if not worst.

[@lh9591]

I think it was done intentionally to have him be a bit ditzy and naturally happy. He’s oblivious to the fact Jenna is clearly into Matty in this scene. With his happy carefree demeanor, when him and Jenna broke up (or if he ever found out about her cheating) he would probably be sad for a short time and then go be happy and in a good mood. He’s able to bounce back.

[@StealthMode3924]

He’s a bit weird though. Lol

Yeah also did you notice Matt was acting strange when Wendy came back from wherever she was. Scene Hey I didnt expect to see you in....Wendy? What are you doing here Why were you expecting someone else No why When Wendy kissed Matt he knew in his heart that he really loved Jenna all along. Notice he was jealous too of Alec.

[@mragbangles]

Didn't realize until now that Wendy, Matt's fiance, looks and acts so much like Jenna. So, Matt couldn't get the real thing, but knew he wanted a girl just like that. Wow.

[@missscarlett186]

He explains it near the end of the movie, right before he marries Wendy. He explains to Jenna, "You don't always get the perfect house that you dreamed of, but you get awfully close." Then he says, "Jenna, I've always loved you."

[@mragbangles]

@@missscarlett186 Brilliant. Thank you for this.

[@YukiKunikida]

He even said it in the movie "you know Jenna, you don't always get your dream house, but you get the closest to one" or something like that. I meant to me that he never stopped thinking about her, but he learned to move on.

[@Schoolgirl325]

Yeah, I noticed that, too.

[@Disney65Fan]

Sorta right down to the innocent persona. Question though (and this is a spoiler btw). When Jenna went back in time to be with Matt,I wonder did Wendy hook up with Alex Carson. I have a feeling she did just like Nancy(Idina Menzel) from Enchanted hooking up with Prince Edward (James Marsden).

[@MarzipanCat.]

Jenna is not in denial he's engaged. She was literally still in a 13-year-old-body a few days before that scene, so it's just weird for her that her best friend is already engaged. Mentally, she's still 13

See how Matt show´s that he actually love´s Jenna, because he choose´s Wendy, who´s the plagiat of Jenna. This was the first thought when I re-saw Wendy. Marvellous how we learn, but re-watching movies from early age as a young adult. I was a teenager back then. Interessting how we see it after years. Now I am 36 years old. As a woman I like it to see these details. I learned hard to recognize those little things. And I learned hard to not see things as self-evident. Thanks for exchanging and talking.

[@predatorjunglehunter7332]

Damn, so Jenna's friend was just trying to hook her up with the old guy in the bar as a trap for Alex waiting outside...

[@rudyhouse4670]

This might sound crazy but I was just thinking about that. How did Jenna end up with some of these guys? When she was younger she was with Chris Grandy, and as an adult she’s with Alex and she discovers she’s been with one of her coworkers’ husband. Could have something to do with her wish: “Thirty, flirty, and thriving” but here’s the next question, how does Alex already know Lucy/Tom-Tom? Could be that Alex is Jenna’s boyfriend and she and Tom-Tom are best friends but I have another theory, maybe at some point before Jenna woke up a 30 year old, her friend as been trying to hook her up with these guys and I bet she did the same thing to her with Chris.

[@persephone8960]

Mark is gorgeous hereeee

[@jonathancruz5932]

2:19 Look at Jenna’s face. She’s unhappy and jealous

[@rudyhouse4670]

Jenna’s surprised reaction speaks to any girl who didn’t know these things about their guy friend. I mean, when Jenna and Matt were young they were each other’s only best friends. Some part of her knew that he is sweet and a great guy but the other part, she thought the same as everyone else at her party including the six chicks that he was weird and a nerd. She never suspected that he would grow up and meet someone special(even though Wendy isn’t supposed to be the right one for him).

[@Annemarie_case143]

[@alyshiakroll15]

Of course she's threatened... Given she's a grown woman capable of observing what's going on around her, I'm sure she picked up on Matt's feelings about Jenna. And Jenna popped up out of nowhere and now she's constantly around or contacting him. She claimed her territory in a polite and classy way but anyone would be uneasy with their fiance's childhood love/crush popping up out of nowhere and suddenly wanting to be around all the time... Especially when it's clear Jenna also has a thing for Matt

[@artilugiax]

Wendy & Alex are nice persons the only shade person is"Tom tom" and the taxi guy.

[@FulgoreJosh]

Matt never got over Jenna. He chose a woman that looked like her

[@pacflip10]

I have a theory that Jenna had a mental breakdown after her 30th birthday and reverted to a childlike state. She didn’t like the person she had become and deluded herself into thinking she could go back in time to when she last felt innocent. The final point of her delusion is when she makes a grand gesture to go and get Matt but is rejected, at which point she goes outside with her dollhouse and fantasizes about a timeline in which the two of them get married and live happily ever after.

[@sailormoon8922]

It could be.. but it happened in reverse she was 13 and time travelled to her 30's and showed how her life is because of her choices as she had a chance to change it when went back to being 13

[@marikkelaszlo3355]

Wow that is a dark theory but I like it, maybe when it showed she was 13 in the beginning of the movie (she was dreaming of being 13 again while at her 30 year-old self).
