If Apple was 16 when she found her father and her father was 18 about to start college when he got June pregnant then why did they cast Brendan Fraiser who was probably 44 at the time of filming? I understand some actors can pull off playing younger ages but he doesn't look anywhere near 34!

Even at 44 he did not look like he was in his 40s. He looked much older, like almost a senior citizen. He must of led a wild life, or just aged badly.

He was to old but so was the mother. The movie could have been better,but the acting was superb!!

In real life, the actress who played her mom is only 9 years older. I didn't think she looked old, but worn down from drugs and snuff.
