Why did they cast a kid that looks 30 with a missing tooth


The only thing I kept asking myself while watching this movie was, "why on earth did they cast this guy to play the son (Rock), when he looks like he is in his 20's or 30's and has a missing tooth in the front of his head???"
How annoying!

We're supposed to believe that the father (Andrew Mccarthy) had sex at the age of 9 and his wife/lover, presumably another kid, gave birth to the 30 year old when she was 9-10. It's happened before in the UK. This couple, aged 10-11, gave birth to a kid. Lol. Mccarthy looks younger than the son. It's not good genetics, it's just kids having sex at a really young age.

Whoa Shannon really, let's not talk about looks. KWIM Actually if you bothered to look up their birthdates, you'd see Andrew's 23 years older than Evan, and people do have kids younger than that. SMH You do know Andrew's not a teen actor anymore, right?
