10 Most Precocious Kids In Movies

8. Rachel Hansen (500 Days Of Summer)

500 days of summer While not quite as memorable an entrance as plunging a knife through a gangster's back and calling everyone in the room the c-word, Rachel (Chloe Moretz) barges into this alt-rom-com with all the urgency of a paramedic. Her relationship advice to her brother Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is less sympathetic than he would perhaps like it to be; consoling him with the impossibly sagacious ''I think you're just remembering the good stuff. Next time you look back, I, uh, I really think you should look again.'' Considerably more pragmatic than a twelve- year- old should be, her bluntness hits Tom like a slap in the face. She's had at least two boyfriends already, but she clearly has less trouble 'moving on' than her brother. Now she devotes herself to dispensing the harsh truth, more agony aunt than younger sister.
