Films, one way or another connected with the exchange of bodies, the sudden growing up of children by 15-20 years old, have been in demand by moviegoers for many years. The fantastic comedy "From 13 to 30", released in 2004, was no exception. Actors who perfectly cope with their roles are the main achievement of this picture. Who played the main characters?
Plot of the film
American science fiction comedy, announced in 2004 as a classic example of family cinema, is still relevant today. In the center of the plot is the story of a teenage girl dreaming of becoming thirty. Suddenly, Jenny's craving is fulfilled. Awakening from a dream, a former child discovers that as many as 17 years have passed. Now she is an independent 30-year-old lady, an employee of a glossy fashion publication.
Numerous problems typical of the life of an adult fall upon the main character. Despite the dream, a separate apartment and other “benefits” of independence, Jenny begins to regret the “missed” childhood, when everything was much simpler. It turns out that the benefits of the adult world do not atone for the endless difficulties that they have to deal with.
Actors who played teenagers
A wonderful cast is one of the main advantages of the comedy melodrama "From 13 to 30". The actors who played Jenny, Lucy and Matt in their youth look like adult heroes. The role of the main character in the age of a teenager went to Krista B. Allen - an American rising star, who at the time of filming was just 13 years old. Classmates, who are popular at school, do not want to see the girl in their own company. The offended Jenny has a desire to become an adult, which she makes up before her birthday.
The thirteen-year-old heroine Lucy Wyman is played by Alexandra Kyle, who was about 16 years old at the time of the work on the film. Her selfish character leads a group of teenagers who rejected Jenny. It is Lucy's crude joke that makes the main character wish him adulthood and independence.
Matt Flamhuff is a friend of Jenny who presents her with an unusual dollhouse made by himself. Magic dust collected on the roof of the product allows the main character to get what she wants. Matt as a child is played by Sean Marquette - an American actor who, like Alexandra Kyle, turned 16 at the start of filming.
All teenagers already had experience in the cinema by the time they were approved for their roles in the comedy "From 13 to 30". Actors continue to act actively. For example, Krista B. Allen can be seen in the series “Daddy”, “Revenge”.
