* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: It's really, ''really'' obviously a product of the 2000s. The cell phones central to the plot are all depicted as 2000s-era flip phones, and there's no mention of social media (which would almost certainly come up in a story involving cell phones written later). A major scene of the film even has a thousand Phoners showcasing that they are all part of a HiveMind... by having the whole lot of them belting out a constant loop of the "Tro-Lo-Lo" song.
