Where can body swap comedy 13 Going On 30 be found online, and is it available on Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime? While Tom Hanks' Big is probably the most famous example of a body swap comedy, other notable examples include Freaky Friday - both versions - Fred Savage's Vice Versa and 17 Again with Zac Efron. 13 Going On 30 joined that subgenre in 2004, and sees a thirteen-year-old girl wishing to become 30, and waking to see the wish came true.
13 Going On 30 was a star vehicle for Jennifer Garner, who was best known as the star of the J.J. Abrams created spy series Alias at the time. She also appeared as Elektra in the 2003 superhero movie Daredevil, but 13 Going On 30 gave her a chance to show off her comic skills. While it might not get points for originality, it's still a charming, sweet little comedy that's bolstered by a great supporting cast. Mark Ruffalo plays Garner's love interest, while Judy Greer and Andy Serkis co-star; it provided a young Brie Larson (Captain Marvel) with one of her earliest roles.
For those looking to revisit 13 Going On 30 or watch it for the first time, the movie is quite easy to find online.

It can also be rented or purchased from prices starting at $2.99 from platforms like YouTube, Google Play, Vudu, iTunes and Redbox.
13 Going On 30 also became popular for a soundtrack loaded with classic songs from the 1980s and 1990s. Choice selections include Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby," "Love Is A Battlefield" by Pat Benatar, Soft Cell's "Tainted Love" and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" by Whitney Houston. While the movie was a solid box-office success during its original 2004 release - doing especially well in terms of DVD sales - it's since become something of a cult favorite that seems to become more popular with each passing year.
While Jennifer Garner has fond memories of 13 Going On 30, she told Good Morning America in 2019 she has no interest in a sequel - which she dubbed 15 Going On 50. Garner recently returned to her action roots with 2018's Peppermint, playing a woman who transforms in a Punisher-style vigilante to avenge the murders of her husband and daughter; while the movie itself received middling reviews, she did an impressive job with the role.
