@xir I personally hate it when people get too picky about the ages of the actors. I get reminded every time someone is picky about it "blah blah blah she looks too young to be 40" of Catch Me if You Can. Leonardo is 28 at the time of release, playing a 15-19 year old... who for most of the movie is 17 and is trying to pass himself off as someone in his late 20's. Nobody can tell someone's age very well outside of 10 year age brackets, and even if they can, its much harder on screen with makeup and tactics to try and change what a person looks like. Honestly, I don't think it would have been cringier if he was 24, I think it would have been the same :person_shrugging:♀ Actors act the way the script demands, not the age they are

A sweet heartwarming romance with main actors that share a real amazing chemistry ! For what it's supposed to be, I think it did great. One thing I would say against it is that the whole underlying scenario is cliché, expected (but not enough that it'll stop you fromhaving a good time, imo).
I've heard Anne Hathaway has received criticism for looking too young to play a 40yo, even though she herself is exactly that lol. And good for her. Otherwise I quite enjoy Nicholas Galitzine, but I hope he'll be able to not be typecast in the future, so that he doesn't oversaturate the romance flick market.
As a side note, Galitzine is 30. If they cast a real 24yo actor, would it have been cringier ? Maybe, given that we always see 24yo cast as highschoolers. How about irl though ?
