The original movie, starring Jennifer Garner, follows the story of a young girl who wakes up one morning to find herself in the body of a 30-year-old woman. The plot twist has made the film a beloved classic among rom-com fans. While details about the upcoming reboot are scarce, it's clear that Netflix is looking to update the story for a new generation.
