Columbine?
This movie may have been the inspiration for the Columbine High School Massacre, as it is not definite whether the initials "NBK" (used by the killers as a code for their mission) referred to Natural Born Killers (as it is often thought), or to this.

Really? Are we sure they weren't referring to the National Bank of Kuwait? Pumpkingrrl 07:07, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, the fact that the movie WAS released less than 2 weeks before the incident at Columbine does make its possibility more likely than other variations of NBK. That being said, I do agree that it's unlikely, and if there's an official source for that logic (say, police or psychologist theory), it should definitely be referenced...

Age
Rob is Josie's younger brother, not older. It is said in the movie he is 23 years old, while she is 25.

Premise
The film was based on a real-life reporter's undercover exposé. I just found this out in my journalism class, as my teacher knows the woman that Drew Barrymore's character is based on, Shann Nix. I've added a citation. Yeshuamyking7 22:00, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

A single sentence at the end of this section says the movie was a remake of the 1942 film The Major and the Minor. As I recall, that film was about a woman pretending to be a child to save train fare. Therefore, I have deleted the remake claim. Altgeld (talk) 00:06, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Rating section.
ref Is there a particular reason why the movie's rating in one country deserves its own section? :-) 156.34.209.205 (talk) 02:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

non encylopedic language
some of the language in this article is colloquial rather than encyclopedic, e.g. in the character profile for Anita "no strings attached". Please make the article just a tiny bit more boring, then everybody will be happy. Otherwise it is likely to be ruthless hacked around by somebody "edited mercilessly".

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the proposal was not moved. Intuitively, per those below, it appears unlikely the well known film will not be primary over a television episode, which are not normally known by their titles. But the nomination presented no evidence of primacy, so even in the absence of others, this would default to the status quo in the absence of evidence being presented by commentators.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 13:06, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

– I don't know which one is more primary: the Barrymore film or the Glee episode. Nevertheless, after publication of the Glee episode, either this film may no longer be a primary topic as it was before, or there are now two primary topics. &mdash; George Ho (talk) 18:32, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

 * In light of the Glee episode and the numerous other things they could be looking for (although all are redlinks/non articles), I Support the page moves.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 19:53, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose. There are only two articles that could take the title, and of the two the film is the primary topic, even allowing that some Glee readers come through the film's hatnote. Although the Glee episode was the primary topic about a year ago for the few months after its airing, its readership has dropped steadily and tremendously from 381K in Nov 2010 to 59K in Jan 2011 to 8K in Jan 2012, while the film is fairly steady in the 25-30K range.

 * Oppose; it's difficult to compare a single episode of a television series to a full-length feature film. Most people don't even know the names of television episodes.  Powers T 19:43, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The well-known feature film makes the episode look obscure by comparison. 67.194.69.67 (talk) 00:24, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
