There's probably an automatic bias against doing so because the suits just assume it won't do well, but since this one clobbered Clooney so soundly in week one, I'd hope it gets around pretty quicklyReel Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727636643227938924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17556334.post-77974581956492999382007-10-17T19:14:00.000-04:002007-10-17T19:14:00.000-04:00Hey Keith,Do you know if Why Did I get married? ha...Hey Keith,<BR/><BR/>Do you know if <I>Why Did I get married?</I> has only gotten a limited release yet?

I only made it to one movie this weekend, but it was "The Darjeeling Limited" so I can't complain. :)<BR/>I think you'll be very happy with it.
