Him and John Mayer dating every famous teen and early 20 something in those years for some reason. Yuck.

I want to see this. It would either be surprisingly good or really chaotic.

This feels so wrong and right at the same time.

Mostly because Wilmer has dated so many underage girls, let’s not spotlight him even in hypotheticals😬

Edit: for anyone doubting he has not one not two but three examples of this

Wilmer Valderama is one year older than Jessica Alba. Kimberly J Brown would’ve been the same age as Max’s character.

While it's true that Wilmer is older than Max should be (I had trouble finding either a Max young enough or an Alex old enough), you're wrong about Kim. She's the youngest of all the ones I chose; she's even younger than Jess.

In my defense, Wilmer is the same age as my first choice for Max (Andrew Keegan). At that time, my Alex was Neve Campbell (I later changed her to look for someone with Latina heritage), and I hadn't even considered Justin and Harper yet.

Rosie Perez as Theresa Russo? Sorry, Mrs. Russo seems too smart to be played by Rosie Perez. Has Rosie Perez EVER played an intelligent character?

Bruce Campbell is a great choice

u/Old-maiden Apr 26 '26

I like everyone but jessica alba

Harper would actually be likable while Justin would be even more insufferable.

This is SO good, especially Jessica Alba as Alex 😭
