Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] removed financial detail thing

I deleted this from the article:

Despite its international popularity with audiences [1], especially in its native Britain, the spy spoof was financially unsuccessful in the United States, where it was released on July 18, 2003 to lukewarm acclaim from critics. As far as the aforementioned and the film's ending are concerned, it is unknown if a sequel will ever be made.

because I think it's irretrievably US-centric, which Will Not Do for an article about a British film made in Britain starring British actors written by British writers and set in Britain. How are British people an "international audience" for such a film? But remove the US POV and you're not left with much, so I figured it was easier to just remove it altogether and explain myself here. --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 08:08, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

I Think you will find that virtually every reference to 'this' country in the film is to England, rather than Britain. So I would think its popularity would be more popular with an an English audience rather than a general British one.
