[edit] Box Office

Under the box office, the following is listed as the amount taken in:

Gross Domestic Takings: US$ 126,293,452,152,132,562

Other International Takings: $44,976,083,156,896,478

Gross Worldwide Takings: $171,269,535,156,932,147,589,632,145

Obviously, this is wrong. Can someone get the correct numbers and fix? Sumnjim 16:42, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I just noticed the same problem. I'm deleting the numbers. That would be better than having these blatantly incorrect ones. Avraham 16:06, 26 March 2007 (UTC) Nevermind, I found the correct (I'm assuming) values in a previous revision. Pasted those in. Avraham 16:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Synopsis

This section is written in a very informal tone. His butler played by John Turturro is like Deed's best friend. I'll clean it up next time I see the film if nobody else does. Pnevares 01:04, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

It's quite awful. 192.154.54.14 18:09, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Use of valid sources

There needs to be a valid source provided for statements of fact. For example: The line "The Wendy's restaurant featured in the film was located in Carmel, NY..." Another statement that would be enhanced by a source would be, "...despite the fact the film claimed the location to be Connecticut. The actual restaurant itself burned down in a grease fire in early 2007, and is in the process of being rebuilt" DDoSAttack 01:22, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MrDeeds.jpg

Image:MrDeeds.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Goofs Section

The goofs section is terrible. The first "goof" is actually just a stupid joke from the film: "When they tell Deeds that he inherated [sic] 40 billion dollars the man in the suit says "we just need some time to dot the t's and cross the I's refering to the contract. But is supposed to be cross the T's and dot the I's."

And the second goof is poorly worded. "As it turns out the butler was the owner. When Bennett said he was born in 1958 which means that in 2002 he was 44 years old he said that he has been working for him for 30 years so he was 14."
