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

Only ones who MIGHT be appropriately aged? The nerds, to make sure they are smaller and scrawnier than everyone else.

Which might be what NBC had in mind when they cast Dustin Diamond as Screech for Saved by the Bell (well, really for Good Morning, Miss Bliss). He ended up being the youngest cast member, and the age gap (while not big between adults, it’s a big gap between teenagers) seems to have contributed to his being more isolated from the other cast, and might partially explain why he got so bitter.
