editcan someone edit the capital letter in With to be lower case, so the link in Drew Barrymore's page and others will work?
Plot & details
editThe 'Plot' section is extremely short, and sounds more like what you would read on the back of a DVD case than an actual summary of the plot. I am not going to fix it quite yet, if anyone else wants to - feel free - if/when I have more time I might try and take it on myself. Also, 'Details' is being used like a 'Trivia' section. I think it is unnecessary and am going to remove it - feel free to tell me if you disagree. Oh, and to the person above - please sign your name! Magischerr (talk) 00:30, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
The plot section is absurdly complex due to the writing style. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.101.144.113 (talk) 00:08, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
Details
editThis is unsourced trivia and so I've placed it here until it can be properly cited.--J.D. (talk) 16:00, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
