1.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Good Girl (2002)?

2.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Good Girl (2002)?
a.
Dean Devlin (I) maintains that the tag-line for this movie, "Size Does Matter", was meant simply to differentiate the movie from
Jurassic Park
- hence the original "museum" trailer - but that the advertisers for the studio took it too far with their over-zealous campaign (e.g. "His foot is as long as this bus"). The ads became the biggest focus of the backlash against the movie. Most notable was a temporary page set up by the programmers for the website of
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
that mocked the "Godzilla" green glow and read "Plot Does Matter." However, when The Phantom Menace was released, Star Wars fans mocked
George Lucas
for making a Star Wars film where plot did not seem to matter as much as special effects. Another backlash came from Spielbergs DreamWorks trailer for Small Soldier, featuring a giant lizard being hog-tied by a group of action figures. This trailer has the tag-line, "Size doesnt matter."
b.
Holdens last name, "Worther", like his first name, is a literary allusion. It comes from Goethes novel The Sorrows of Young Werther, which attracted an audience of alienated young people in the 19th century the way The Catcher in the Rye did in the 20th century. The plot of Young Werther - an intensely romantic young man with aspirations to be a writer falls in love with an older married woman, is rejected by her and ultimately commits suicide - parallels the plot of "The Good Girl".
c.
Variety once described this movie as "as a sort of followup to
Burt Reynolds
Sharkys Machine
, with him working again with fellow cop
Bernie Casey
on a big drug bust" during the opening sequence.
