I only learned about it, because I was looking up info on Reitman himself, after appearing on Oprah, just today. And I haven't even seen the movie yet! It's funny. Reading some of the articles now and the comments - it's quite obvious this small circle of people in Hollywood seem to know and it is getting more publicity because of the LA Times article. I'm glad to read about it and will investigate further, just for my own edification, but as to your original question and point - NO! I don't believe the *cute* story about the script has one iota to do with the success of the movie. Another funny point - - in all these articles -- no mention is given to the directing and acting -- also important to the success of the film!! Just my two-cents!! :) I think the movie would have received all the recognition it has garnered so far, without the screenplay story, because quite frankly, most of the movie-going public, myself included, had never heard of this controversy until just now, as 99% probably still don't.
