More and more Wikipedia reminds me of stock recommendations, wherein "Hold" means sell because it's a turkey but no one wants to be brave enough to say that. 32% at Rotten Tomatoes is *not* mixed reviews," it's 2/3s negative. Would you call a restaurant that got two stars out of five "mixed"? Why not say at the very least "mixed to poor" reviews? Fifty-ish percent is "mixed." 32% is disappointing to say the least--now why can't we just say that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.180.44.133 ( talk) 21:32, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Peter Jackson's original decision to cast Gosling is bizarre. He is far too young for the role- only 14 years older than his film "daughter", and 11 years younger than his "wife". Does anyone know why this strange decision was made? JohnC ( talk) 23:14, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Well, maybe he read well for the part. Age disparities between actors in film and TV relative to their roles are hardly unusual: Isabel Sanford was 22 years older than Sherman Hemsley yet they played The Jeffersons as a married couple that seemed to be roughly the same age, and on the Australian original of Kath & Kim the actresses playing mother and daughter are the same age. Daniel Case ( talk) 00:59, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
The release date is March 13 2009, which Alientraveller just added. This is contrary to the IMDb entry for The Lovely Bones and should show that IMDb cannot be relied upon to declare when a film could possibly come out. — Erik ( talk • contrib) - 16:00, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
As this movie is not yet released it seems interesting that there is a reception section. WesUGAdawg ( talk) 02:02, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
I've removed the photo gallery per extensive discussion at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Films#Cast_images_at_The_Lovely_Bones_.28film.29 The photos are freely licensed and fine from a copyright perspective, but don't add any value to the article. If this was a montage of photos from the movie it would be different. Stetsonharry ( talk) 21:03, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
I can't find the Wikipedia policy on spoilers, but this is the first film page I've seen on Wikipedia where there is an apparent massive spoiler in the Reception section (highlighted by the caption to the photo). Should this be deleted, and the reference left in the plot section where you'd expect spoilers? 165.142.249.81 ( talk) 00:49, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
They didn't actually show or really indicate that she was raped, did they? I mean, yeah one is left to assume... but still. Gigs ( talk) 01:53, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
Qs: To a new reader (well, me), so many references to the various release dates and locations throughout the article are confusing. The box office numbers and the review-aggregator statistics need to be updated. Also, could the thicket of review quotes be trimmed up? (Ebert's review is funny, though :))
DreamWorks: The trail of DreamWorks's involvement is confusing. It's listed in the Infobox as a distributor but the Intro says it "left the project." ?
H/heaven: If I recall correctly, in the book "heaven" is lowercased throughout, except in Susie's description of her "wide wide Heaven." Because in general usage "Heaven" is uppercased, like "Earth," I uppercased what I thought were references to the generally-known Heaven, and kept lowercase what I thought meant Susie's "small heaven" or her "wide wide Heaven" -- but I'm more than happy to leave final decision on all that to someone else :)
UK DVD date: LoveFilm says a June 28 release to DVD and Blu-ray in the UK, but the article (in "Home release" section) says June 11. ?
Thanks! This is an excellent article btw, I like the plot summary especially. -- LaNaranja ( talk) 18:31, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Daniel. Producer/distributor: Should that be made clear in the Intro, then ("After DreamWorks left the project, Paramount became the film's sole distributor.[3]")? Movie details: I wont introduce them; I havent seen it either. Thank you for your quick reply :) -- LaNaranja ( talk) 20:44, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
There has been a rumor circulating in Norristown that Mr. Harvey's name is a reference to Harvey, Illinois. If you are not familiar, that town is/was home to the infamous Dixie Square Mall. A rape/murder took place on that property not too long ago. I ask so I could maybe add this to the article. Can anyone confirm this?
Why is DreamWorks not on the infobox at all, not even under 'Studio', even though the DreamWorks logo is on the poster and the credits start with 'DreamWorks Pictures presents'? Boushenheiser ( talk) 23:45, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
