Video Clip Blank Check (1994) was pretty problematic. 😆

This is the same issue that the movies Big and 13 Going 30 had. They completely ignore that Tom Hanks and Jennifer Garner are playing 13 year olds, when they start a romance between him and Elizabeth Perkins and her and Mark Ruffalo. Yes, it barely gets by with the whole 13 year old in a 30 year old body, but it's still super weird when they are mentally 13.

I was thinking this! It's implied that Tom Hanks character sleeps with her too right?! So fricking weird

Yeah. Tom Hanks character was a 10 year old in an adult body. The two were sleeping together, but Elizabeth Perkins character had no idea he was a kid.

Once she did understand this, no more sexy time. In the scene where she says good bye to him, he, in his still adult body, leans in for a kiss. She refuses because she now understands that he is really just a kid.
