[edit] A few comments

Just a few things that could do with a little citing. All pretty easy, I think - shouldn't cause a miserable Christmas.

• "It was not well received by film critics, although it was popular with most film festival attendees" - you probably do cover this later on, but it could do with citing on its own.

Cited.

• "Andrew is also an aspiring actor, but seems more interested in gossip and telling racy anecdotes. Andrew has been HIV positive for quite some time, but remains in good health." - this kind of character analysis does read like OR without citing.

Changed to "Andrew is also an aspiring actor, but spends more time at Lila's gossiping and telling racy anecdotes."

• "Susan is more accepting of her brother's homosexuality" - more of the same.

Changed to "Susan is the only Davis who accepts her brother's homosexuality. In a deleted scene, she tells Aaron that his homosexuality has changed nothing between them. She also discovers Aaron's suicide attempt."

• "Aaron's deeply religious mother, who has difficulty accepting the fact that her son is gay." - ditto.

Changed to "Aaron's deeply religious mother, who cannot accept the fact that her son is gay, and consequently places Aaron in a treatment facility to "cure" him.

• "Traci has moved from New York to LA to become an actress, but finds it difficult to make her mark, and works at Lila's to support herself. Traci does not like living in LA, but later admits she didn't like New York much either." - and more - it may all be blatantly true but character analysis can be pretty subjective stuff. I either cite it pretty rigorously in my opera articles or avoid it altogether.

Changed to "Traci has moved from New York to LA to become an actress, and works at Lila's to support herself." The problem with citing these things is I can't really cite the film itself, so I don't really know what I can reference it with.

Also, "The average critical rating on Rottentomatoes.com is 42%; however, the average user rating is 75%" - you've cited it, but haven't explained what the relevance is. This website does what, exactly? Is what? Is notable how? What importance? That sort of thing.

Done.

And I dislike spoilers. "Synopsis" is, I think, a better heading than "Plot" - or even "Plot synopsis" is good. The thing is that a heading with "synopsis" in it should really be enough to tell anyone that the synopsis is coming next: therefore the spoilers are redundant. I'm probably contravening some guideline here, so ignore this last bit if it is complete bollocks. Nice article, good work! Cheers, Moreschi ^Deletion! 21:06, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Changed to synopsis.

[edit] Holiday celebrated

I'm under the impression that the celebration at the end is a Thanksgiving Day meal, rather than Christmas. Guille 09:22, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
