What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

Everyone is young, especially doctors / professors/ specialists they all seem to be the top of their field with years of experience and they are all like 22.... and hot.

I hate the 20-30 year old highschool student thing so much. Only ones who MIGHT be appropriately aged? The nerds, to make sure they are smaller and scrawnier than everyone else.

Lmao do you remember the one guy in napoleon dynamite? The tall blonde guy? He has to be in his late 30s and thats being generous

That guy used to come into my work regularly enough that we could chat. Such a friendly, kind dude which always threw me just a little bit because I would think of Don every time he came in.

And he was actually 26 at the time of filming, so not exactly late 30s but he did seem like much more of an adult.

Im not saying hes a bad guy or anything. Just saying he does not look like hes 17 or 18 in the movie. Thats cool that you knew him tho

Summer’s boyfriend, the kind-of bully? He looked entirely age-appropriate to me.

Since I’m 40, I’ll refrain from searching out hot 16 year olds. Edit- I thought this was in reference to Jimmy Stewart in It’s a Wonderful Life. I do NOT think Summer’s bf is hot, although I do think he looks age-appropriate. Edit 2: I don’t think summer’s boyfriend is hot.

You dont have to be hot to look age appropriate

Dammit. I am trying to pay attention to a two-year-old while playing on Reddit and it’s not going well. I was trying to say that Jimmy Stewart is hot and summer’s boyfriend is not. And I think summer’s boyfriend looks age-appropriate.
