I edited the box office numbers. I do not know the overseas gross, but I do know the US gross, and it surely wasn't $111,543. It was $61,280,963, and your source is here. --Hellogoodsir 23:27, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy section

Medved isn't the only critic to complain about J-Lo smoking a joint in the film. I remember a newspaper story in which the film was lambasted for showing a character who works with children smoking pot, and there was at least one other critic who I recall was rather vocal. I want to say Roger Ebert but I can't be certain. The Medved column I cited is the only professional critic's comments I could find currently online. If anyone can find other links -- including rebuttals to Medved's POV -- please feel free to add them. I have my own POV on this, but I only added it because it received media attention, which satisfies Wiki's notability requirements. 23skidoo 07:12, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

I removed this section because only one source has been provided, and that hardly constitutes the fact that it is controversial, or even deserving of its own section. Besides the guy also goes on a rant about the baptism in the movie, he's just ranting for the hell of it. Something controversial receives mass attention, and this did not. --Speakslowly 04:56, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Haha. I remember this fact throwing me off as a teenager. But now that I'm older... well, I re-watched the film with my boyfriend tonight and remarked to him that it was sort of a relief to see her doing so. It sort of set her apart from your typical, pretty, good-hearted heroine. She's still giving and good hearted, but she isn't perfect. I like that about her. She's sort of fearless. I can't imagine the uproar the scene caused... must've been quite rowdy. Regardless, I wouldn't change that part of the film for anything. I liked that it literally had nothing to do with the rest of the story and really didn't equate her to a flaming junkie, it was just a little realistic quirk. --68.92.52.3 05:25, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
