My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it!

Don't you just love Hollyweird? What will be next? "Inspired slightly by an encounter with a mate who had visited a theater play that was vaguely related to a book"?

The trailer of "Meet the Spartans" claims it's "From the guys who saw 300" at 0:30

On a serious note, just ignore the the "in part" of the credit and it fits.
The "in part" kinda sounds like that plus something else to me, {end serious part} probably the mate coming back from the theater's drunken recollection of a dream he had while sleeping at the theater during the play based on the book.

To me that reads like "This movie has virtually nothing to do with the book but we swiped some characters names and might get sued if we don't give a credit to the book, so here it is:"

"This movie has warped my fragile little mind."
