Confusing line

despite the film's 21.6 million dollar opening set the record for a movie opening on Super Bowl XL weekend

Isn't there only one Super Bowl XL weekend therefore wouldn't it be pretty easy to set the record for that weekend? Is this supposed to be a record for ANY superbowl weekend? Someone who knows where this data came from might want to look into that. Stardust8212 17:18, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, this really hit me

"Jill Johnson is just your average teenage girl: boyfriend issues, friend issues, and of course the big issue of running way over on the cell phone bill..."

...

Anyone else notice how clichè and commercial this sounds? And as an introductory sentence no less. Please tell me it's not just me.

Edit: I read on two sentences and saw just how much worse this article manages to get within that short timeframe. The "plot summary" is so full of commercial tripe it practically oozes cheese. Someone please fix this. --Chef Brian 02:23, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Doubt....

In the end, in her dream in the hospital, does she really pick up the phone???? Because when I saw the movie, she just gets up from bed when a balloon pops, goes out, takes a look around, comes back in, the phone rings, she ignores it, closes the door and there comes the stranger...

What?

"leaving the viewer to wonder if the events cost Jill her safety fatal scream's cry tears to psychiatric hospital goes to fatal stab to surpense thriller with the screen fades to black and the movie ends."

Strange ending

I didn't quite understand the end of the film. Was Jill herself the murderer? Or was the whole thing just a product of her imagination?80.141.10.119 (talk) 10:44, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
