* In ''Film/DrMinx'', Jason Harvey and Randy Boone play college students who live at home with their parents, despite the actors being in their 30s. Makes the casting of Edy Williams as the 'MrsRobinson'-style older woman verys strange, as she was actually between them in age.

* ''Film/WetHotAmericanSummer'' has hilariously age inappropriate actors including Creator/AmyPoehler and Creator/PaulRudd playing high school aged camp counselors.
** The [[Series/WetHotAmericanSummerFirstDayOfCamp prequel]], which was made 15 years after the movie, features the entire cast (many of whom are in their 40's) returning to play "younger" versions of themselves.
* Lampshaded in ''Film/WhatsNewPussycat'' as flashbacks depict Peter O'Toole's pivotal experiences with women in grade school, high school, and college, all with O'Toole in character (his twelve-year-old self in school uniform looking very Angus Young).

* ''Film/MillersGirl'': DawsonCasting: Cairo and Winnie are both high school students. At the time of the film, Creator/JennaOrtega (Cairo) was 21. Creator/GideonAdlon (Winnie) was 27. Cairo is stated to be only 18, Winnie's isn't said but can't be too much different.

* ''Film/{{Dragnet}}'' - Joe Friday is accosted by "kids" "on a school night" played by Stuart Quan (born in 1962), Ruben Garfias (born in 1960), Marshall Maurice Mitchell (born in 1960). Since the film came out in 1987, that makes them all in their late 20s.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/DeadPoetsSociety'' mostly averted this, with the majority of the teenage characters played by actors actually in their late teens, but did have the notable exception of Creator/GaleHansen who was about 28 when he played Charlie Dalton. You'd never guess he was a decade older than his co-stars.
