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.

I don't think the plot section is accurate (Just saw the movie for the second time last night). They aren't having an affair when her husband shows up, they've simply bonded... the two men act like two men tend to do, fighting and being jerks until ultimately Manuel basically rapes Jennifer, causing Jack to hate them both and turn into a murderous sorta guy. The way the article is now it sounds like he was a villain from the beginning and that Jennifer had already forgotten about him for Manuel (i.e. having an affair rather than rejecting his friendly advances). Shrug, it's just a dumb movie on Showtime, but accuracy is a good thing.

I think the 'mistake' about the reef fish might be explainable, as only Jack actually gets his fish from the reef, Manuel only gets lobsters from there (are reef lobsters also poisonous? I doubt it), and later on Manuel actually tells Jack not to eat certain reef fish as they're poisonous (I believe he said 'the yellow ones'). While Manuel has fish, he's shown fishing for them closer to shore.
