Released April 23rd in the US.
Filmed in California and New York.
The story: Jenna Rink is a 12-year-old desperate to be a 30-year-old, and popular.
On her 13th birthday, her best friend Matty gives her, her very own Jenna dream house that he built.
Matty then sprinkles wish dust over the house, telling Jenna that all of her dreams will come true.
After the mean, popular girls arrive at Jenna's birthday party, along with Jenna's crush Chris, Matty gets offended and goes home to get his Cascio.
While he is gone, one of the girls tricks Jenna into playing Seven Minutes in Heaven, getting her blindfolded and into the closet in hopes of being alone with Chris.
When Matty returns, he finds all the mean kids Jenna invited leaving.
They tell him that Jenna is in the closet waiting for him and he believes it.
But when Matty goes into the closet to kiss Jenna, she realizes he is not Chris and freaks out, slamming the door on Matty.
She bangs into the wall, where she put the dream house that Matty built for her, making the wish dust that Matty sprinkled over the house fall on her.
The next thing she knows, Jenna wakes to find that she is in fact a 30-year-old who is popular, successful, and has a boyfriend.
She thinks it's all a dream but slowly learns that her current situation is her actual reality.
