Dawson looks like 19 Years?


Sure, Rosario Dawson ist a beautiful woman, but she doesn't look like a 19 year old teenie in this movie. Aren't there talented 19 year old actresses in the world? Why took a 28 year old woman for this movie?

yeah, I didn't understand that part. never would have thought she was playing a 19 year old.

I thought about this too, but she also played a 19 year old in Rent. I would have guessed she was about 23 in this film, not 19.

I totally agree with you, no way she looks like 19. More like in her mid-late twenties....

Yeah, I laughed when they revealed she was 19 (they couldn't even raise her character's age to 21?). I was confused at the beginning - I was trying to figure out if she was a grad student, or just someone who had never gone to college and was finally doing higher education.

She was 28 when she made this rubbish. She more like the rapist's mum than a co-ed.

She could have been older college is not just for 19 year old's. When I went there were people who were 26 27 in my class. Also Rosario is pretty but naturally has an older looking face, like Keira knightly etc. Its genetics.

When he said: "You're not 21", I was expecting him to say: "You're 28". When he said: "You're 19", I was thinking: "In what altered universe is she 19"?

I agree. Rosario is gorgeous but she has always looked older than her real life age anyway. So playing someone younger makes no sense. I understand why she wasn't a graduate student. Jarrett seemed dense as hell and there's no way he could have played a grad student also.

she was the producer, if anyone noticed. probably that's the reason why she got the role.............
