You know what's sad? This musical is all about social anxiety and mental health, and people are so focused on how he looks creepy that they fail to see the deeper meaning behind the music. I went to hs with ppl who looked far older than their age. Ben played this role perfectly. I was lucky enough to never have to deal with social anxiety or depression (depression hit when i was older) in hs but he played the part so well that I felt his anxiety through the screen and music and only a truly talented artist could do that.

Respectfully, just because something talks about an important subject that doesn’t automatically make it good or well made. Ben Platt’s a great performer but even despite the make up, his performance really isn’t appropriate for a film adaptation especially when you look at how everyone else around him is acting. The screen and film and two different mediums and I don’t think he really differentiated the two during this entire movie.

I absolutely do not understand those people saying that he looks old or that he looks cringey. A) he is older but we all know that 16-year olds have been played by 25+ -year olds since the beginning of movies. He does not look distractingly older in my opinion, he looks very in place. B) HE IS A KID THAT HAD TO LIE TO GET EVEN ONE PERSON TO BE THEIR FRIEND! It is absolutely realistic that he does not look 100% like your typical teenager. Evan Hansen would be a weirdo if he existed and not a cool weirdo.If he looked cool would he have to lie to get friends? Nope. We can see that as the story progresses and he gets some more confidence he stops looking so weird. Ben's depiction of this vulnerable kid is incredible. His performance is superb both vocally and as an actor. Without Ben, this movie wouldn't have been the same.

Connor's mom believed it because she wanted it to be true, that Connor made a friend in Evan Hansen.

This scene sounds great and is acted well by Ben. He's a very talented actor. It's just the hair and makeup. I wholeheartedly believe if they styled him to look like he did in The Politician (a great show btw) it would be far less distracting. Or, just make it an animated movie and have Ben voice Evan. There is so much untapped potential that could be found if they made animated Broadway adaptations. Still, I am one of the few people who think this is a pretty decent adaptation. It's not perfect. It has some glaring flaws, but it's still pretty faithful to the stage show (and yes, I've seen the touring cast).

You could call that some mixture between shotgunning and the Barnum effect, or you could just say, "He panicked and made a lucky guess". You know, like it says in the script. It's also kind of *the point of the whole dang musical* that Evan creates his own version of Connor instead of trying to glean information.
