Calista played a 18 y.o


even though she was 32 back then and it was totally believable.

That's was one thing about this movie I never understood the kids ages. I know people do get married at 18 and 20, but I didn't think they were believable as 18 and 20 year olds. Twenty and twenty-two would have been better .

I thought you were messing around with this fact. But yeah she was 31-32 when she made this. I was a bit shocked. I didn't realize she was that old. She played similar young characters on Law and Order. She did look young.

Wow......she was that old...

And her fiancé was played by a 29-30 year old. They clearly looked way older then 18 and 20.

Val looked way older than 20 but Callista did look young but not 18.
