I was the one who wrote the 'inner beauty examples' section. Why was this deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.208.226.140 (talk) 05:37, 30 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

The editor who deleted it called it "cruft"[1] in their edit summary. I would have called it WP:OR original research. -- 109.79.69.160 (talk) 11:22, 10 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Context

edit

The production of this film was moved up and they made sure to finish it before July 2001 because of the threatened Screen Actors Guild strike, which I noted in the production section. In the end, the strike never happened as an agreement was reached.[2]

Another bit of context I think that might be relevant is that the film was released shortly after the September 11 attacks and I thought there might be some comment about any effects that may or may not have had on filmgoers but I have not yet found any relevant box office stories for this film. (Monsters Inc and Harry Potter were dominating at the time.) Incidentally director Bobby Farrelly, had been booked the 9/11 flight out of Boston but rescheduled to attend a charity event organised by Tom Sherak and although I think it provides some interesting background[3] it is tangential to the film itself and isn't worth including in the article for now. -- 109.79.69.160 (talk) 13:49, 10 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
