Is there a branch of LOON for LotR? If so I'm a member... Frodo is 33 
at the time of Bilbo's party. The main action takes place some 17 
years later when Frodo is 50. It's stated that this is getting 
towards middle age for hobbits. Hobbits do have a bit longer life 
expectancy that humans. Living to 100 or beyond is fairly common. 
(Otho Sackville-Baggins, Bilbo's nasty relative, is said to have died 
at the "disappointing" age of 102.) Bilbo himself is still alive at 
the ripe old age of 131, thus surpassing the Old Took (formerly the 
longest-lived hobbit on record), but this is due to the Ring's 
influence.

So do I think Elijah Wood looks too young? No. From the stills I've 
seen, the hobbits all look good and pretty much the way I imagined 
them.
