Believe it or not, there are apparently hundreds of people in this country who have nothing better to do than call up phone numbers they see mentioned in movies. It all seems ludicrously dumb to me. Couldn't the makers of Bruce Almighty just have bought an unused number in the Buffalo area and set up a recording?

The only movie phone number I've ever been tempted to dial is the Seduce & Destroy hotline from Magnolia, where apparently, until recently, you could hear a recording of Tom Cruise delivering his commercial from the beginning of the movie. That would be a great fake number for girls to give out to annoying guys in bars...
