13 Going on 30 (2004)

Jenna Rink is an ultra-adorable naive 13-year old who envies the ‘cool’ popular girls at school and would do absolutely ANYTHING to be accepted in that group. Her best friend and ardent adorer, Matt, is (in her mind) part and parcel of her uncool persona and (we’re led to believe)is an associate she’s quite willing to lose in order to gain admiration from the cool set. Before she has occasion to actually dump him, however, a bit of ‘magic’(initiated by her heart of heart wish) relocates Jenna into adulthood. She wakes up to find she’s thirty, beautiful, a successful magazine editor at her fav publication, and has a hockey-player celebrity boyfriend and (seemingly) all she ever wished for. Of course, as it so often does, life has thrown Jenna some serious curves and dealt her some cards she didn’t count on or particularly want. She’s become sneaky, selfish, and has virtually rejected her family and the friend (Matt) who meant the most to her in exchange for her ‘wishes come true’. As her 13-year-old mentality recognizes her adult ‘profits and losses’ she is heartbroken and wants only to return to her early teen innocence. And of course, as must be the case in truly ‘feel good’ movies, she gets her opportunity to make things right. This film is a real heart-warmer, especially for all those who remember the awkward teenage years as well as for all of us who have made poor choices along the way which we wish we could change. Just watching Jenna make good use of that opportunity makes us feel better, allowing us to realize how great it would feel.

The History Boys (2006)

When a 1980s class achieves the best scores ever at Cutlers’ Grammar School for boys in Sheffield (Yorkshire, northern England), the petty headmaster, who craves the prestige like the parents, recruits a young Oxford graduate, Irwin, to prepare them for the general entry exams for the world class universities of Oxford and Cambridge. He stresses that takes not just delivering what all schools prepare for, but -if they even really want to go- standing out by a different approach and perspective: surprising quotations and associations, the other side of the coin, witty phrasing… Actually good foundations were laid by the current staff, less by history teacher Dorothy Lintott, a frustrated liberal feminist without actual impact, then by the enthusiasm-arousing ‘Hector’ in General Studies, who gets their attention and makes them think trough literature, open discussion, role-play and performing declamation and song, at both of which the only Jewish (like the Muslim, fully integrated) boy, sensitive gentle gay David, excels. Alas, when the headmaster learns that the caring, paternal Hector once innocently touched a boy’s privates, he insists on ‘graceful’ early retirement, a personal drama with surprising twists in the end. Meanwhile the irresistible class flirt, Dakin, skilfully tests all borders including his and Irwin’s sexual orientation, and all consider what they really aspire and care for, in studies and life.
