* DawsonCasting: Although the movie parodies this, it does somewhat play it straight too. Michelle Pfeiffer was 47 playing 40 - meaning the actress was ten years older than the age her character claimed to be at first. Paul Rudd was 36 playing 29, and his character plays a teenager on a sitcom. Stacey Dash meanwhile was 40 playing the 20-30 something Brianna. Averted by Saoirse Ronan who actually was twelve.
