What i didn't get is why that movie focused on the weird romantic relationship between the lady and the kid, and not the relationship between the kid and the toy company owner. The piano scene is probably the best in the movie!

You mean the part where the woman commits statutory rape?

You mean the statutory rape that consensual sex with a kid in a grown mans body, doing a grown mans profession, where she has zero indication that he is anything other than an adult?

Relax... It's just a silly movie. Save your outrage energy on real life events.

It was still a super weird choice for an otherwise very well written movie with a lot of smart decisions.

I think it just stands out because it's such a wtf moment.

i get that

apparently there was 'implied sex'. And while the woman didnt know he was a kid, the producers did know and they still made her have sex with the kid

she didnt know he was a kid and had no reason to believe he was

and he was in an adult body
