Rob-B-Hood

Over the last couple of weeks, I've worked substantially on this article, adding a section detailing its production, a cast list, a detailed plot, the release information and the reception. My goal is that the article be eventually featured one day, so I'd like as much constructive feedback as possible to improve it. Thanks.--Alasdair 06:20, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Casting

Second paragraph: "Koo was the baby's favourite on set, and, whenever the baby cried, Koo was always the first to cheer him up.

Filming

Second paragraph: " ...even though a second unit was used." Unnecessary detail. The film went over budget. Period.
Third paragraph: Pipelink quad bike.

Images

Crop the black letterboxing bars off the screenshots, and if possible, brighten them slightly. If you need assistance, let me know.

Cast

Who portrays Max? He's a small role I realize, but he's important in the beginning.
Melody, a student nurse

Plot

Second paragraph: A few months later, the Landlord loses his life savings following a burglary of his flat.

Releases

Template:Infobox movie certificates will help encapsulate the ratings information and help expand upon other country releases. The Japan image could be swapped left or moved to reception, or the ratings box could be placed in reception.
Any details on the DVD release for regions 1 and 2?

Reception

How about some exact quotes from the critics? A search on MRQE might turn up some unique reviews that you can use.

External links

It's okay to include links to IMDb and the official site, even though they are summarized in the infobox. Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, MRQE and All Movie Guide could be included if the pages have anything meaningful.

Overall

An entertaining and informative read. I had watched a good portion of the movie on Thai-dubbed VCD while waiting for free gift wrapping at a department store. So this article helped fill in the blanks. — WiseKwai 07:44, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
