Following "Dear Evan Hansen"'s example, which movies suffered because they cast someone who was either too young or too old for the main part?

I watched Dear Evan Hansen and it wasn't so much as bad as I expected, not bad enough to be unintentionally funny, but Ben Platt was so out of place and unconvincing as a teenager, that whenever he was onscreen, it was as if I was watching a remake of the best forgotten Francis Ford Coppola turkey "Jack". Here are other examples:

Diana Ross in "The Wiz"

Barbra Streisand in "Yentl"

Kevin Spacey in "Beyond the Sea"

Armie Hammer in "Call Me By Your Name"
