12. Jennifer Garner

buzzfeed.com

13 Going On 30 was not an Oscar winner, but Jennifer Garner at least made it somewhat entertaining to watch. Do you think it was hard to pretend to act like a 13-year-old acting like an adult?

13. Vanessa Lengies & Nikki SooHoo

buzzfeed.com

In the world of movies about gymnastics, Stick It might be important. Here are Vanessa and Nikki pretending to be the next coming of Charlies Angels.

14. Hilary Duff

15. Michael Angarano

17. Lindsay, again

buzzfeed.com

Lindsay Lohan was always working during the early 2000s. She seemed to be having a great time doing it as well. Staring alongside Jamie Lee Curtis must have been a great time in the remake of Freaky Friday.

19. Lindsay (yet again) & Alison Pill

buzzfeed.com

20. America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledel, & Blake Lively

buzzfeed.com

That's a lot of star power just hanging out on the set of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. They had such a good time on the movie set that they became best friends in real life.

I wonder if movie set are really as much fun as we make them out to be?

12 Times Miss Grotke Proved She Was The Wokest Teacher Of The 90s

You could make a pretty solid case for Recess being the best cartoon of the 90s. It was funny, intelligent, and with characters like Miss Grotke, it was woke. I think most of Miss Grotke's wise words and quips went over our heads as kids, or at least they did for me. But looking back, she's one of the most aware and feminist characters we were exposed to...and that's a wonderful thing. These are some of Miss Grotke's best moments. 1.
