Jenna was a terrible person


Had a difficult time liking her character. She was destroying her own magazine and totally self centered. Not a very good friend to Matt either.

I think that was the point of the movie. Jenna saw the type of person she had turned into.

Also, I don't see how people thought Jenna (in her "mean girl" alternate) got to the top on "pure talent". One of her co-workers even said she stole another girl's idea, then fired her. She might have had *some* talent, but most likely got to the top by back-stabbing.

Jenna seeing what she had become was necessary so that when she got to do those 17 years all over again, she made a much more desirable life for herself.

Yes, girls so if you want to be Thirty, flirty and thriving try not to be bad to get there.




Seriously, that was the character arc.

Ephemeron.

She was bratty as a kid by telling off Mattie and dissing him for the cool kids. Lol

She got better I think as the story went on. She even takes up for him.
