Actually it's stated that since her sister is 38 and she is 7 years younger, that makes Sophie 31. Using 2007 (the release date for the film as the line), that makes Sophie born in 1976 (Rhonda in 1969, though Kristen Johnson was born in 1967). Now supposed in 1984, Alex is in his early 20s, born about 1960 (much like Hugh Grant by the way). In 2007, that makes him 47 to her 31 -- about the same distance as Sloane and Sophie, and Campbell Scott (born 1961) and Drew Barrymore (born 1975).
Now sure to someone who's like 16 or 20 someone who's 16 years older may seem creepy or gross, but once you're well into adulthood (like over 30), the age gap greatly reduces... short of a 25 year old and an 85 year old (yes, I'm talking another famous Hugh here).
