==Plot==
Jenna Rink (played as a girl by [[Christa B. Allen]] then as an adult by [[Jennifer Garner]]) is an intelligent girl who wants to be friends with the popular girls. On her 13th birthday in [[1987]], Jenna wishes to be a 30-year-old adult because she is ignored by the cool girls in school and mostly unnoticed by the cute boy she likes; in particular, Lucy (AKA "Tom-Tom", played by [[Alexandra Kyle]]), the leader of the school's snobby clique, the "Six Chicks", takes advantage of Jenna's smarts and desire to fit in by manipulating her into doing her homework for her, as well as stringing her along into thinking that Lucy is her friend and would accept her into the Six Chicks, only to dash Jenna's hopes as a cruel joke to keep her near the bottom of their school's social order. Earlier, her best friend Matt Flamhaff (played as a boy by [[Sean Marquette]]) gives her a doll dream house he had built for her and a packet of "magic wishing sparkles" to make her wish upon as birthday presents.
When she awakes the next morning, her wish has come true; she finds herself seventeen years in the future, gorgeous and successful with a great job in [[Manhattan]] as an editor for her favorite childhood magazine, ''Poise''. She has a fabulous [[Fifth Avenue (Manhattan)|Fifth Avenue]] apartment, and a handsome celebrity boyfriend, but no idea how she achieved any of this. Jenna is also working at the magazine with Lucy ([[Judy Greer]]), who is now her best friend.
Line 29:
A distraught Jenna heads to the house where Matt's wedding is set to take place and she tries to convince Matt to call off the wedding, but Matt refuses, although he does tell her he loves her and gives her back the doll house he had first made for her. Jenna leaves in tears, then wishes herself back to 1987 (thanks to leftover wishing sparkles from the roof of the doll house), where she kisses Matt, then confronts the snobby Lucy, tears up the homework paper she had done for her and tells her off before she and Matt leave. Back in the present seconds later, the final scene has the adult Jenna and Matt emerging from the house as a happily-newlywed couple who lives in a home identical to the dream house Matt built for her years earlier.
