Do you think Brittany and Drew should have switched roles?.

I love this film, and thought the performances were great, but I think that Brittany had a more physical resemblance to the real Bev ( probably because they were both Italian American ).I think they could have played their characters well if the roles were reversed. What do you think?. Also Brittany was smaller than Drew, so I think she would have looked more believable as a teenager.Not sure if Brittany could have played older Bev (maybe it would have worked with the right hairstyle and makeup ).Or, someone else could have played her when she was older.I don't think Drew looked old enough to pay the older Bev .

No, I think they were fine in the roles they were in. Both were great in this.

No way. They were both perfect for the roles they portrayed.

That would have been really great to see.

As one of my favorite movies, I can honestly say I think it still would have been great. Brittany was extremely talented and was always able to convey emotion really well while being funny. I also would have loved to see them try and age her as they attempted to do with Drew. And, she played her character so well it made me want to see more of her side of the story more.

Drew did a great job though, no doubt. Two great actresses.
