I don't think I had really thought about it until my friend brought it up. As she's quite the romantic, I think she wanted to see Holmes and Irene Adler as a couple and found the age difference acting as a barrier. Well, like you, I was also pleasantly surprised by how well McAdams carried off the role. I was also very relieved that they got rid of the skanky red corset!
