Bad Moms- why cast Mila Kunis?

[Katz]

Just seen the advert for this new film, and the poster showing Mila Kunis as the lead role.

I know she's a great actress but why cast a 33 year old to be the mother of based on the preview are children who are at least 11 or 12?

All the other 'Bad Moms' are actresses in their late 30s early 40s?

I was looking forward to this film, had only read reviews of what it was going to be about but this will annoy me!

[Iguessyourestuckwithme]

She could be a parent to a 20 year old to be fair

[ThymeLord]

Eh? I had an 11 year old at 33. I'm confused what the issue is.

[LewisAndClark]

I also had an 11yo at 33.

[ThoraGruntwhistle]

Some people do have children in their teens and twenties you know. If the lead actor was 19 with a 12 year old child you might have a point, but 33 is perfectly reasonable.

[Sparkletastic]

Have you seen it? She's really rather good in the lead role.

[Waltermittythesequel]

I have a 10 year old at 33.

[pointlessperson]

She was a young mom had her first at. 20

[Rainbowrhythms]

Wtf? Plenty of women have kids that young

[moonmeat]

When my ds is 11 ill be 33

[Katz]

It's not that realistic?

20 is still young to have children - I was 24 and that was considered young.

Plus I'm guessing at the ages of the children the actors are 13 and 15 (I think- was what Google said)

[elQuintoConyo]

To make money?

[Rainbowrhythms]

I still don't get your problem?

Movies aren't realistic anyway.

But this is realistic.

[HermioneJeanGranger]

That's fairly realistic. Why on earth wouldn't it be?

[Ratley]

I'm 33 and have a 10 year old, my mum was 33 when I was 10.
Perfectly acceptable age, just because the average age of mothers has risen doesn't mean everyone is that age. There will always be people above and below average, that is how averages work.

[Vixxfacee]

How is that unrealistic?

[Katz]

Ok I'm happy to be corrected

[Itis6oclocksomewhere]

I'm 35 and I have a 13 year old.

[MadHattersWineParty]

Why isn't it realistic? Just because it's still quite young doesn't mean it doesn't happen!

[PaperdollCartoon]

Well,
A) perfectly reasonable that she could have an 11/12/13 year old at 33.
B) just because she's 33 doesn't mean the character it meant to be. Maybe the character is 36? Actors often play characters not their exact real age you know.

[Ratley]

1: Of course its realistic there are plenty of young mothers, I began trying for my first at 22 (having been married 4 years).
2: Even if its not realistic - its a film.

[PeggyMitchell123]

My son will be 13 when I will be 33. People have children young all the time so it not like it is that unrealistic.

That and everyone can relate to mother's whatever their age, they still do the same thing so does it really make a difference how old she is meant to be.

[Birdsgottafly]

I had three children, at 33, one that was older than the age range of the children in the film. This is your own personal issue.

Do you have really closed thinking, in which you think that's there's only one way to live and a Woman should be just finishing Uni and starting a Career at 22?

[Katz]

As I said I'm considered to be a young mum of a teen, I'm the youngest by more than a few years. I guess when you don't know anyone who had their children even younger than you, it becomes less realistic for you. Most of my friends my age have children 6-8 years younger.

I shall go watch and be less annoyed.

[allthecarbs]

I'll have a 12 year old when I'm 33 so not that weird.

I ca kind of see where you are coming from, if the rest of the cast is older you'd maybe expect the lead to fit in more.
