Great movie with a lousy title, Don Johnson is good even though his character has more problems than carter's got pills. If you don't learn anything else from this movie you'll learn that 'there is something besides death and taxes'

It's a good movie and I don't see a problem with the title at all. What would you suggest?

I think it is a good title. Short and concise.

I don't like the title but when the movie was released, I didn't know what the expression meant. Once learning the definition I use it often. Still don't like the title.
