She looked just as old as the mother, if not older...


There were times where I wondered if she was still grieving the loss of her mother due to her tired look but as the movie progressed I had to accept that it was just how she really was (haggard). They should've picked a "girl" a little more convincing imo.

You mean you think Kiernan Shipka looks the same age as Julie Bowen?

I don't see it.

Shipka looks like a high-school kid, Bowen is a gorgeous women in her late 30's or so.

Idk if it was intentional but she looked really old/tired in this particular movie, especially in comparison to her photos on an image search. Not an insult and yes, I think Bowen looks excellent here.

reply

She was still in her early 20s when she made this film, but the thought did occur to me that she looked closer to 30 at times. I think her hairstyle and makeup choices may have contributed to making her look more "mature". Ultimately, it wasn't too distracting though.

🤣@ late 30s. Julie is that you? Seriously though, Bowen is in her 50s & looks it, even if she is a 50 something who looks like she takes care of herself.

reply

I don't know her exact age but that wasn't the point, she looks good and a lot older than Shipka.

reply

Kiernan Shipka was 22 during shooting and could still pass for 17-18 years-old high school student whereas Julie Bowen was 42 during shooting. I thought they looked like the perfect daughter & mother; in short, great casting.

reply

Julie Bowen was actually 52, but I agree they made for a good mother/daughter pair.

reply

Thanks. In my mind I wrote 52, but somehow I hit the '4' instead of the '5' (possibly because she looks 42).

reply

Yeah, she looks great. I thought she was younger, too.

reply

You think the 22 year old actress playing the daughter looks the same age as the 52 year old actress who played her mother?? I don't see it at all.

Linday Lohan set The 21st Century's standard for child stars who ravage their looks via dope and rough living. Now that she's an irreparable punchline, another actress needs to take the reins LiLo once held, and Shipka may be ideal
