Talk:Meet the Parents

message: The third line in the article is quite odd - both because of the writing which seems like a personal comment - and becuase I'm pretty sure the "Call me... Kitty-Cat" is said by the mother of the girl in "Wedding Chrashers" when she want's Owen Wilson's chracter to feel her up... Correct me if I'm wrong? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.227.231.26 (talk • contribs) 
"Liminality?"  This has the odor of a term paper for which the author wants more than a community college degree.  It's a comedy film.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.193.239.8 (talk • contribs)

message: "A scene in the movie focuses around the Byrnes family trying on tuxedos for the wedding; in the marriage at the end of the movie, no one is wearing a tuxedo."
I always assumed they weren't wearing tuxedoes because, as shown earlier in the movie, the fake Jinxie had torn the tuxes up. I will get rid of this piece of trivia unless there is a responce.68.79.11.47 16:16, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Resources to use 

message: There's been an ongoing dispute over the inclusion of DreamWorks (DW) into the infobox and lead paragraph. As an article that is now recognized as being of GA quality, all significant facts (such as theatrical distributors) mentioned in the lead and infobox should be repeated in the body of the text with proper citations. I have been unable to definitively confirm through reliable sources that DW distributed this film theatrically outside of North America. I have been able to find a few sources that identify UIP as the distributor in other countries such as United Kingdom, Australia and Germany. For those countries in specific, UIP has been mentioned in the body of the text and, as such, UIP is more appropriate to be mentioned in the lead paragraph than DW although I believe that it's better to omit it altogether from the lead. DW did collaborate with Universal and Tribeca as a production company but we lack citations that they acted as a distributor and, until we have reliable sources attesting to that, DW really needs to stay out of the lead and infobox. This reference was provided earlier as proof that DW is the foreign distributor but it is dated prior to film's first release date and speaks only of production, not distribution. It's not completely unlikely that different countries had different distributors so references specifying the country where DW handled the distribution would be best if it is to be reinserted.

replies: text: You're right, UIP looks like it's the right one.  These news results indicate that. Erik (talk) 13:59, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

text: DreamWorks was involved in the financing though; at least acknowledge their involvement in the production process.--Freshh (talk) 21:30, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll agree with that.  This says, "Ron Meyer pointed to the success of Gladiator and Meet The Parents which were co-financed by the two studios [Universal and DreamWorks] last year..." Erik (talk | contribs) 19:42, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

text: I was going to advise him of the same thing before I noticed that you already did. I'll keep an eye on him and give him a 3RR warning should he continue. Those edits are starting to become disruptive, he'll earn himself a block if he keeps going at this pace. Big Bird (talk • contribs) 12:29, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
