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 was surprised that anyone would write an article for such a minor made-for-tv movie like this, or that it would include so much superfluous information that isn't particularly interesting. I've removed all references to a specific setting in the article. The name of the suburb is never mentioned in the film, and the producers avoided filming distinct New Orleans landmarks that would give away the shooting location of the film. I think the producers wanted the setting to be a generic suburb that could be anywhere in North America.

This is a very poorly constructed article. The Symbolism and Quotes sections should deleted entirely because they aren't writen well, and they have a level of detail beyond most other film articles in Wikipedia. The Plot and Trivia should definitely stay, but the grammar should be cleaned up. Let us not forget Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not CliffsNotes.

[edit] B Class

Sorry- no, just no. Huge Trivia section, no references, "goofs" section? Soundtrack is a good start, but because it was released separately, needs own infobox, etc. or article. Lots of unreferenced facts throughout the article. SkierRMH 04:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
