[edit] Plot Section

Does anyone else think it would be appropriate to mention the inaccurate felon disqualification lists under key points brought up by the movie? FluxFuser (talk) 07:31, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I added info about the number of viewers (If you listen the the Rush Limbaugh show then you would have heard him talk about the ratings, and the reasons for them). I believe this is important info that shows what peoples feel about the movie, I think it show that people just want to get over the entire thing and move forward.--Archer5054 (talk) 10:48, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, this is a useful article. I tweaked it a bit to add the point made about ratings on Memorial Day being traditionally lower. Also, it is beyond the scope of the Wikipedia to draw conclusions about what ratings mean - unless you have a source to back it up. -Classicfilms (talk) 05:12, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
