Isn't Streisand To Old To Be Rogen's Mother?
the two could certainly pass for mother and son. but it would have made more
sense for her to be Rogen's grandmother.

Huh? Rogen is 30 (THIRTY) and Streisand, while 70, could easily pass
for 60, making her character 30 when her "son" was born.
I know her age but for cripes sake she sure doesn't look it! I don't think an audience will mind.
Scarlett shot first!
Streisand does not look 70. Hell she looks fantastic for her age. She could easily pass for Rogen's mother. I think she looks WAY too young to be his grandmother.
shareShe looks good and she could have been a late mother.. like in her 40's and have a 30 year old boy at 70! it's not that far fetched!
shareExactly! That's what happened with my mom when she had me (kid #2). She was a month shy of turning 38 when she had me. I'm 35 and she's 73.

Well of course Barbara does not look 70. All it does mean is you sit through the entire film wondering how much botox and plastic surgery she has had!
Its that man again!!
Right you are and not just that, but even if they said she was 70 in the movie, it is common these days of women having babies in their 40's. So either way he could be her son easily.
The character said she was with Andy Margolis at 19-20 and had her son 2 years later. So basically, they're saying she had her son at 21-22 making her almost 20 years younger than her real age, 50 instead of 70.
shareWell, she only LOOKS around 55, so on-screen it seems fine. Sad (to me) that she is using her valuable maturity on silliness like this (I saw it) but, what the hell, we'll always have "Funny Girl"..."On a Clear Day"..."What's Up Doc"...
Owl and the Pussycat"...etc
Even though Barbara Streisand is 70 but I will admit that she looks stunning and could pass off for 50.
share40-year-old women can and do give birth. My grandmother was like 43 when she had my uncle. He's a year older than me and we went to the same grammar school.
Most people are so ungrateful to be alive, but not you. Not anymore.

Yet another person taking an actor's chronological age literally when evaluating characters they play in a film.

The movie worked for me ... I didn't give it a thought. I was too busy laughing and smiling.
shareYes, I agree especially in the context of the movie. She was 23 or 24 when she gave birth to "Andy" making her early to mid 50's. It's definitely a stretch knowing the actors' real ages.
shareAnd if Alex had any older siblings in the movie, it would be very normal to have a 70 year old mom.

I will admit that Barbara Streisand aged very well at 70.
shareYeah..hey, people.. I'm going to be 70 when my son turns 30! I've already warned him to take care of his (much younger) dad..because otherwise, that's going to be US in 10 years..my husband is the only thing standing between my son and a road trip with mom... :/
shareI didn't even k ow she was 70! lol
But no, I don't think she was too old. She fit perfectly as his mother. Definitely better than when they have women being mothers of someone 10 years younger than them
