By mainstream I mean: The film is widely playing in megaplex theatre complexes nationally, not just the arthouse theatres where something like this usually ends up. It's become the subject of "cute" editorial cartoons and serious editorials. Audiences of widely varying backgrounds are paying good money to view it. It's received generally good reviews from professional film reviewers and yes, I know, the goodness isn't unanimous. It's placed in the top 10 for a couple of weeks for either revenue or attendance (forget which). Rush Limbaugh has acknowledged its existance. It's even paid back it's (admittedly low) production costs. To me, that's mainstream...apparently not you...cie la vie.
