How about ‘Year One’?
Is it the ‘20 Most Annoying People in History’ issue?

The movie is year one.
The issue is the Jan-Feb 2002.

Several of you have guessed the movie (My Sister’s Keeper), but Paula & Allison both nailed the correct issue (and since they were one minute apart, we’ll call that a tie). You both win t-shirts. Congrats! Shoot me an email with your choice/size/address — jason at mentalfloss dot com.
