Worst title in film history?


OK, maybe it´s not the worst, but I´m still highly disappointed... "Boys and girls" - What a total lack of imagination!!! I can´t say how much I love this film, it´s just soo wonderful... But the title doesn´t tell anything about the movie! Even "Jennifer & Ryan" would have been better... Or do you have other ideas?

>Even "Jennifer & Ryan" would have been better...

If they have used that it would be even more obvious that they are ripping off Harry and Sally.

Oooh, yes, I agree. The title was terrible and did nothing for this movie. I mean, it wasn't really even about Boys and girls, it was about one boy and one girl in particular. But then, "Boy and Girl" is an even worse title! I don't know. Something more creative would have suited this film better.

It's not only the name (which is itself so stupid). Take a loof of the tagline "Sex changes everything", I expected something very interesting (a sensual, romantic and amusing movie) but what I found it's a pile a crap. Bad Acting, worse script, what were they thinking when they shot this?. Sex changes everything, there was no change in this boring comedy.

Yup , U guys r rite , when u say that e title doesn't really tell much about e movie , but title aside , the movie itself isn't all that bad , it has a simple but sweet and easy to understand plot ...

personally i think, "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar"is the worst title in cinema history....

stupid title, I agree. Bad movie, I disagree. The most appropiate title for the film that I can think of is "Opposites Attract". It makes more sense.

LOL thats funny. i think that is probably one of the best movie titles ever. im amazed a major studio agreed to it its so out there. at least its creative

reply

Yeah I totally agree that the title is really disappointing :S
Its not about Boys or Girls at all..It just sounds so stupid, as if the one who called it so didn't see the movie or something..!

Maybe something along the lines of Best Friends would have served the movie much better.

reply

True, something with "friends" would be good. Maybe "Just friends" or something.

Such a cute movie! I've got to rewatch it soon.

It can't be that bad of a movie if your moaning about the title. What is that wrong about it anyway? It's a film about the friendships/relationships between 'Boys and Girls'.

Actually I think Titanic should be renamed 'The Famous Sinking Ship' I mean 'Titanic'... how boring is that? Just one word - so unimaginative right? They needed no creative mind at all to come up with that title.

Moaning over a title... honestly.

Thanks for stating the obvious! I totally agreee that it is about the relationships between boys and girls and Hunter(Steve) and Amy have their issues as well...
If a change in title is all you're after though...The Games People Play

ok..so maybe it still lacks ...but titles aside I have watched this film quite a few times and see myself inside...My name is Jennifer and so I really love the song jig that Jennifer's "man" sings to break up with her...
and Ryan's speech on the hillside makes me cry EVERY time!

In my opinion, the film is perfectly banal and the odiously banal title suits it perfectly well.

reply

Yeah, it's a pretty lame movie title, can't argue with that.

reply

How about "Just another teen movie"?!

reply

Totally agree. There's no creativity in the title. 'Friends With Benefits' would be better if there wasn't Friends With Benefits of Justin Timberlake came out.

reply

lol you do realise friends with benefits with Justin came out 11 years after this movie?
