In this movie during the funeral scene at the beginning, Bridget is clearly older. However, in the books and in the second movie, they mention her mom dying when she was a lot younger. I know stuff gets changed from books to movies, but seeing as this is a HUGE part of why Bee is the way she is, you'd think they'd get it right.

So their choices were
1) try to make Blake Lively look 11 years old. Pretty much impossible
or
2) cast a younger actress as Bridget for that brief scene. Might have been the better choice, but only if they could have found a "match", which is hard.

Hard to find an 11-year-old-looking blonde actress in LA? Uhm, ok... You're very wrong, but ok.
I met Cinderella once... she's actually kind of a bitch.
I realize they probably did it so they could use the main actresses and all, but I still think they shouldn't have changed it.
People would have expected her to be grieving and kind of messed up about her mom killing herself if it had happened fairly recently, whereas in the book it was when she was much younger and so people expected her to have dealt with it and moved on. Plus there was the fact that Bridget went through her teenage years without a mother, which heavily influenced her character. So it was a little annoying that they changed it.
