It's addressed in the film itself when they are about to engage in sex:
"Are you old enough?"
"I'm older than I look."
So to all those who say that Atkins is old enough to be the daughter's father (they're totally unrelated) is not so ick after all. Besides, it's only the two of them, and they're in a very strange town.
According to Ronnie the limo driver, the accepted formula for older men/younger women is the following.
Take half the man's age and add 7, it works throughout a man's life.
Atkins about 45 in this movie, so 22+7 =29 minimum age.
She is 24 in this? So just a bit on the socially creepy side, but hey he is a DOCTOR and a fine catch, so the family probably won't mind.
As long as your older than 18, its never creepy to fuck a 24 year old as long as she's into it. Thats some silly millennial mentality.
shareIt depends in the social circles you run in.
No it doesn't. In all demographics, men want to and do fuck young hot woman , rest assured.
shareI'm talking social circles, not demographics.
In high status social circles, men can be ostracized if they chose a mate much younger then he.
It's within these social circles that business deals are made, important people to know are introduced, being informed of the latest gossip...etc. The danger of being left out of the loop from these great parties, warrants the need for half plus seven equation, which was invented before the millennials were even born.
He actually asks her that after they have sex.

On a side note: Stacey Nelkin was fucking luscious. I would have taken a crack at her at any age. Real men don't care how old they are.
