Sandra Bullock too old for Ryan Reynolds. Who should have been Margaret?

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but, while I enjoyed this movie, I was distracted by the 12 year age difference between Margaret and Andrew. I think Sandra Bullock is too mature, now, for these types of frivolous fluff movies. I could think of a lot of younger actresses, maybe a few years older than Ryan Reynolds, who could have done as well or better playing Margaret. Emily Blunt, Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz, Mila Kunis. Just a short list. Who do you think would have been a better fit?

When I was watching the movie, I realized that Sandra is from my generation and Ryan is from the next and how Sandra looks so good for her age in this movie, she doesn't look that much older than Ryan, she's aged that well. And I was glad to see she was still getting starring roles such as this, she is a very enjoyable actress to watch.

What's ridiculous is seeing actors like Jack Nicholson and Clint Eastwood paired with much younger actresses, they really do look too old.
