Anyone else find the age difference gross?


I mean, The Lucky One is a good movie, but I noticed the age difference between Beth and Logan is kind of awkward. I mean, she's old enough to be his mom and he's like, only in his twenties. Personally I thought their sex scene was awkward because to me they look more like a mother and a son than a couple.

Thoughts?

I don't know else who didn't.

I love Taylor Schilling but I wish Abbie Cornish or Katie Cassidy had won the lead role over her.

Taylor Schilling is only 3 yrs older than Zac Efron.

What on earth are you talking about??
At the most she was maybe 2 years older than him in the story.

Nor does the actress look old.

She was hardly old enough to be his mother not by a long shot. Beth mentions that Senior year Keith was the Captain of the Football team and she thought she was in love with him. Then she got pregnant and he proposed to her. Thus she was probably 17 or 18 when she got pregnant her age depending on the time of the year. Then she would have been around 18 – 19 when she actually gave birth. This would make her 26 – 27 the year her son turns eight. Logan states he is 25.

Not only didn't I find the age difference gross, I didn't even notice it.

Me neither. And it's strange that other folks are thinking this.

Oh my god yes I thought I was the only one who thought this way she is so old looking that it makes it look ridiculous you're right

reply

SHE IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLDER THAN HIM. YOU ARE BEING EXTREMELY SEXIST. LAME.

You lost me at "The Lucky One is a good movie." It's a nice-looking, well-acted, gawdawful movie.

As for the age difference . . no; no problem at all. It's pretty hilarious that with all the things in this movie worth groaning about, you picked a slight age difference.
