How old was Lane supposed to be?


I was just wondering about the age of Hilary Duff's character in this film ... I thought that Hilary was in her early 20's in real life; she's no older than 23, is she? However, Lane seems much older, as she is established in a career that we are given the impression she has been doing for quite some time, and she is accepted into a top position in a prestigious company. She hardly seemed like she was fresh out of college! How old do you think she was supposed to be, and if the answer is 'late 20's,' do you think she looked too young for the role? I actually thought she pulled it off pretty well: she could pass for somebody either younger or older.

By the way her character acted I'd say....13.

Top position? Wasn't she an assistant?

I thought she was about 16 years old because that is how she acted.

Its that man again!!

Nah....
She didn't have a career. I can't help but wonder how she paid her bills in Manhattan as a non working "writer." But, yeah we were supposed to take her for mid 20s, maybe late 20s.
