They tend to pick the wrong age for many films.

Yeah, the worst offender is Martin Short in
Clifford
(1994) where he's supposed to be a 10 year old (I know that's not a teenage year but that makes it even worse). One of the worst movies I have ever seen.

Then, why do people like
Elf
(2003?)

You know, probably out of high school.

The synopsis says she's an employee. Most people are employees after school so she was probably not much older than her character was supposed to be.

Probably. I could have played her part.
