Why not? Just take a walk around town and you will see most people are exactly how you described

Or read the "friggin Canadians" thread...

That was the FIRST thing that came to my mind when a friend was describing the movie last night.

Another excellent point. IF you have a machine that stops aging and can rearrange your molecules to heal anything, why would any vain, rich woman live with wrinkles and bags under her eyes? She would look like she was 20 not 50.

I am all for turning off my brain and enjoying a movie (I loved the A Team) but this was a bit too much even for me.

Who knows, it may become the fashion to not look perfect, once everyone can do it easily.

Women who are attractive and/or young can sometimes find it difficult to be taken seriously in an office or political environment. Those attributes, gender etc, can hold them back in their career.

For some odd reason once women are older they are taken more seriously in leadership roles. That odd reason could be termed chauvinism or sexism. My wife talks about being young and having to dress down and try to look older and more severe to be taken seriously. I'm using loaded terms here so please bear with me.

It is quite likely this character, in the movie, found it easier to do her job with a bit more mileage on her than otherwise.
