I do like Michael Fassbender, he's an great actor, but in this movie I would rather have seen Ben Barnes or someone like him, someone younger. Alicia is fine portraiting an 19 y old woman. She looked natural and innocent. I'm really glad they found real love on set, they make a cute couple.

I agree somewhat. I don't know if it changes the character much but there's a passing line at one point, something like he's still a young man...they could have easily changed that.
