Recommendations for improvement[edit]

Center the quotes in the Reviews section (I didn't know to do that and want to use as citations in the lede).
Submit article for possible upgrade to B status by WikiProject Film. ----moreno oso (talk) 05:20, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:FILMS Assessment request[edit]

A request was made to determine if the article meets the B-class criteria for WP:FILMS. The article needs additional expansion and for the below points to be addressed to be upgraded further.

The Internet Movie Database is not a reliable source and should not be used to cite information. Look to other reliable sites, newspaper articles, journals, magazines, books, etc. that can source the same information.
Try and develop the reception section more. Instead of just listing reviews, try and better develop them through prose. Look to current film GA/FAs for examples.
This article needs to be expanded further to provide readers a more comprehensive look at the topic. Consider adding a production, box office, home media, accolades, or other related sections.
The plot doesn't need to be cited as the film itself is the reference. Citations are only needed in the plot if it appears that interpretations are included.

Good work on the article so far, it's good to see that this was saved from deletion while also getting the DYK hook. Keep improving the article, it will have the potential to reach GA status and maybe further. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 05:22, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
