Am I supposed to believe they are in the same class?


Brian and Claire look like high school students. The other guys nearly look old enough to be their fathers. There should be a law against casting anyone over 20 for high school movies.

No. Not the same class. Just the same high school.

And nah, that doesn't need to be a law.

Seize the moment, 'cause tomorrow you might be dead.

They looked young enough to me. Especially if you see them now lol. Most high schoolers are played by 20 and ups. Some even in their 30s.

I only thought Bender looked too old, but even that worked with the ruggedness of his character. Like he wound up that way through his upbringing.

The rest looked age appropriate.

I thought Brian was the youngest

Emilio, Ally and Judd looked old enough to be Molly and Anthony's parents.... this guy right here. XD

And as far as casting over 20 somethings to play teens, it might sound like an odd thing. But that's the way it's been in Hollywood since always, and I don't see it changing anytime soon.

I think kids looked older and were mature. It was belueveable. Today it wouldn't pass
