Line 8:
The only problem is: she doesn't remember a thing of how she passed the past years. Matt ([[Mark Ruffalo]]), [[Nerds Are Sexy|a nerd]] who was her only friend at high school, helps her to find herself; but what if she does not like how she turned out to be?
 
For the trope that this movie used to name, see [[Overnight Age -Up]].

=== This film provides examples of the following tropes: ===
Line 25:
** Not that Jenna's is any better -- "Sweetbottom"? (Mind you, many men would agree it fits considering she's played by Jennifer Garner.)
* [[Emotional Torque]]: The [[Older Than Television|always present]] Aaaaaaaw Sound, mostly. Specially at the end, {{spoiler|when the Loving Couple finally get together}}.
* [["Falling in Love" Montage]]
* [[Family Versus Career]]: Jenna has to choose: She gets True Love, or she gets a good job and a lot of money. There's more to the plot than that, but these are pretty much the basics of it.
* [[Fashion Magazine]]: "Poise" magazine.
* [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]]: Jenna goes from being a teen in [[The Eighties]] to being an adult during the [[Turn of the Millennium]]. The movie ignores many of the problems (and humor) which might result from the [[Time Travel]] aspect of the plot. Is Jenna going around as a 30-year-old high-powered magazine editor in 2004 thinking [[The Great Politics Mess -Up|the Soviet Union still exists]] or that [[Michael Jackson]] is still black? Who knows, it's never brought up. However, a few jokes are brought up: she doesn't initially know what a cell phone ringing is, and she thinks Eminem is the candy brand.
* [[Future Me Scares Me]]
* [[Girl Next Door]]: Jenna and Matt grew up next door to each other.
Line 34:
* [[Growing Up Sucks]]
* [[Happily Ever After]]: What did you expect?
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Jenna's boss is frikkin' [[Lord of the Rings (Film)|Gollum!]]
** Younger Matt was [[Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends|Mac]]
*** Older Matt is [[The Avengers|Bruce Banner]].
Line 45:
* [[The Mole]]: {{spoiler|Jenna}} had been feeding a rival fashion magazine with ideas for articles that her magazine had been coming up with.
* [[Name's the Same]]: [[Awkward (TV)|Jenna and Matty]]
* [[Overnight Age -Up]]
* [[Popular History]]: The version of 1987 in which 13-year-old Jenna lives like a modern-day '80s-themed party.
* [[Race For Your Love]]: {{spoiler|Jenna rushing to catch Matt at his wedding.}}
