Is she suppose so child-like? I know she's young, but she acts like she's 12 instead of 14/15.

Yeah, I thought her naivety and immaturity was overdone. It detracted from the story for me.

...then whoa, differences..

I think it was supposed to be taken to humorous extremes, but she's clearly supposed to have had a sheltered upbringing and previously only ever attended girls only schools.🐭

Oh okay, b/c Uma Thurman didn't play her that way....she's obviously sheltered, but not as silly & immature. I guess Selma exaggerated the character for humor purposes as you said.

It really didn't work especially given how old the actress was.

She didn't really like them

Her character was 13. So I'm not so sure of the emotional difference between 12 and 13.

I don’t think she was 13 - Sebastian wasn’t deviant enough to go down on a minor, nor would she be fucking multiple guys at that age. I assumed was 15/16.

Where did you get that she was 13?????

[–] oldpantsnewjersey 7 years ago

And she looked at least 20. I like Selma Blair, but this was silly casting.

With her looking..her actual age it made the character seem mentally challenged than sheltered.
