Posted: 8/2/07 at 4:54pmThis is great. I've seen it twice, and I'm hoping to see it again. This is the kind of movie that will have total DVD success, too.
It was awesome. - theaterkid1015

It's not the sixth most successful of all time, then. Just since 1974.

Sad that Underdog and C&L will surpass it this weekend- but I shouldnt complain... Hairspray is doing pretty darn well.
