Both of these movies have a lot more in common besides having numbers in their titles. In 13 Going on 30 Jennifer Garner (or the girl who was playing the 13 year old role) is magically transported to being Jennifer Garner and 30 years old. In 17 Again Matthew Perry goes back in time to when he was 17 and becomes Zac Efron. 13 Going on 30 is a "girlie" movie, and 17 Again tries to be more "manly" and had some kind of sporting event that required an orange ball and a hoop and some cheerleaders.
I preferred 13 Going on 30. Jennifer Garner was just too cute.
In 17 Again, however, Thomas Lennon played the rich, eccentric friend of Matthew Perry; and I'll be darned if he doesn't look exactly like my cousin Steve. He acted like him too, except Steve would be into sports and not into Dungeons and Dragons or Spock, or whatever it was with the ears. Thomas Lennon even had the same facial expressions and movements as my cousin Steve. Is that not amazing? I think he and Steve must be related and don't even know it.
Steve and I rarely see each other. We played together when we were kids and he was really mean and rough with me and never got into trouble for it. When we were real little we took baths together and the last time we were together he said: Ha, ha, ha remember when we were little and took a bath together and I peed in the tub and you were screaming. Ha, ha, ha.
I said: I think that was one of those memories I successfully repressed, thank you for bringing that terrible event back to the surface. It's coming back now, why I hate you.
