Please Don't Remove Trivia Section Anymore! edit
The information about Kevin Smith and his re-write is verified by a link to his website, and there is no reason it should be removed. --CJ 11:14, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- The trivia is non-notable and quotes belong on Wikiquote. I see no reason why we should be giving undue weight to this non-encyclopedic content here. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 11:15, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Are you kidding? Kevin Smith is one of the most well-known indy directors of our time, and it's very relevant that he wrote a script for a little seen movie featuring Reese Witherspoon (who was subsequently rude about Smith). So unless you're a hardcore Reese Witherspoon fan (or possibly a Kevin Smith fan, miffed at Reese's insult) I see no reason why you would want this removed. And BTW, there is plenty of actual, non-encyclopedic junk on Wiki which deserves far more attention than this.
Thanks. --CJ 11:26, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- No, not kidding, and yes I am aware of who Kevin Smith is. ;-) Like I said, giving such prominence to this off-hand conversation gives undue weight to what amounts to trivia. Register with Wikiquote and then place a {{wikiquote}} link within the article here. Just my suggestion. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 11:34, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
It is worth mentioning that Smith performed an uncredited rewrite on this film. It is worth mentioning that Joey Lauren Adams was up for the role. It is not worth mentioning that Smith holds a grudge against Witherspoon because it has nothing to do with this film. -- 15:01, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
Massive cleanup edit
I made this update and wanted to explain and centralize all feedback. I cleaned up the summary, looking at the 27 Dresses entry for "romantic comedy film" and Frida for how to handle uncredited writers. Then I added the plot header and changed the voice of the plot description (no more "It's about"). Finally I removed the details of Kevin Smith's grudge against Reese Witherspoon, leaving a mention of it and a link to Smith's detailed account of it. Blakecarlile (talk) 20:03, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
