Check this krazy thought about DIRTY at the writer's site: http://dirtywriters.blogspot.com/

"...Chris Fisher told us to think of it as a Hansel and Gretel story. There is direct allusion to H&G in the first few minutes of the movie as Day’s kids watch an animated Hansel and Gretel cartoon.

Yeah, you know, when I saw the movie there's an early shot of Cuba Gooding's kids watching TV, a really whack cartoon. I wondered what it was and now I think it was Hansel and Gretal. This may be reaching but it is cool to pick out hidden things like this. I'll check out the blog.
