90% of the movie is in one location why do you want it to be longer. Personally I didn't find the movie to be all that great.

its an ok movie, kind of annoying to me though. ur just watching this guy in a phone booth for the whole movie. Hell the shooting of the movie takes only 2 weeks IIRC

go watch the pianist instead

I thought Phone Booth was pretty good. I was apathetic about seeing it but I ended up enjoying the movie. It has a good balance of drama and humor. :) The monkeys who visit imdb.com gave PB a 7.8 outta 10. Not too shabby.

It was pretty good, I thought it was pretty original and refreshing in the world of movies.

Best movie I've seen in a while, but I've been watching some pretty crappy movies lately.

You can only stand outside one phonebooth for so long before the audience gets sick of it :p

Actually, I believe it was filmed on location.

I'm sure the majority of the costs went to paying the actors...
