Spoilers ahead
As the sun began to set on a stifling summer evening in 1987, Jenna Rink (Jennifer Garner) yearned to escape her uncomfortable teenage existence and reach the heights of popularity. The Six Chicks, dominated by the alluring Tom-Tom, were the queens of the social scene, and Jenna was determined to gain their favor. With a clever plan, she coerced the group to attend her 13th birthday party in exchange for completing their schoolwork.
At the same time, Matty Flamhaff (Mark Ruffalo), Jenna’s best friend and neighbor, secretly cherished feelings for her that he believed would never be reciprocated. In a heartfelt gesture, he presented her with a beautifully crafted dollhouse sprinkled with “magic wishing dust.” Unbeknownst to Jenna, this seemingly innocent gift would trigger a spectacular shift in her life.
