Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.
Additional Information: This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-Class status: Referencing and citation: not checked Coverage and accuracy: not checked Structure: not checked Grammar: not checked Supporting materials: not checked To fill out this checklist, please add the following to the template call: <!-- 1. It is suitably referenced, and all major points are appropriately cited. --> |B-Class-1=yes/no <!-- 2. It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies. --> |B-Class-2=yes/no <!-- 3. It has a defined structure, including a lead section and one or more sections of content. --> |B-Class-3=yes/no <!-- 4. It is free from major grammatical errors. --> |B-Class-4=yes/no <!-- 5. It contains appropriate supporting materials, such as an infobox, images, or diagrams. --> |B-Class-5=yes/no

The plot summary is filled with statements that are so vague it's rather pointless to include any so-called information here at all; some of the comments, in fact, such as referring to the car accident that ends up killing Casey as "whimsical," are simply bizarre. I'm therefore going to create an alternate version of the plot summary. If anyone has a problem with this, they're welcome to change it back, but please explain why you're doing so here on the discussion page, rather than a simple revert for ego's sake. -- Minaker

By the way, where can I find a complete plot outline? This one begins good enough, but soon devolves into little more than teasers. (If there's a spoiler warning, feel free to spoil the entire contents, not just parts of it). To take just two examples, are really all 10 (11?) plot lines covered? What are the details of the ending disaster? 85.227.226.168 09:23, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] plot line reused?

"Upon his return, Claire Kane is repulsed to discover that Stuart and his buddies left the girl in the water until the end of the weekend so they could continue fishing." This reminds me of a much more recent movie. Wasn't there a movie which featured this moral dilemma (as it's sole plot point)? 85.227.226.168 09:27, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

• Yes, it was the Australian film Jindabyne. Almost the exact same, but set in New South Wales. The main characters are Stewart and Claire Kane, and the fishing trip/discovery occurs on a weekend. It is basically a remake of that plot line.

There is also a polish page of that movie on Wikipedia called "Na skroty"!!!! Please find it and make a proper reference in the left side of the page (specification of this page in other langauges). I am afraid I can not do it by myself, especially with my poor english. User of Wikipedia in Cracow, Poland
