Young Frodo?

<BR>I am new to this site and am hoping I am wrong about this. But have gotten<br> the impression that the movie portray Frodo as young, around the same<br> age as his Hobbit companions. Since he is supposed to be, what, 50?, <br> when they set off for Rivendell, after living many years under the <br> influence of the ring, how could this possibly work? Please reassure me it's<br> not so. <p></p>
