Jack Nicholson as a college student


Give me a breaaaaak. He looks so old, even in the early 70s. I love the man, but come on.

I agree. And the fact, it seemed, he was supposed to be a virgin in the beginning was hilarious. I don't think Jack was ever a virgin, haha.

He played a high schooler in 1958 and in 1971 he's a college freshman. Didn't work for me either.

Yeah, they had a couple 30-year olds playing college students.

He was at least 34, and acting 16. It was distracting.

Still, I think it was more about the essence of character more than anything. I mean look at the other guy. He looked much older.
