Stepkids was a way better name.

How they could change the title to something so juvenile is beyond me. Yeah, it's a kids movie, but it had a decent plot and fun characters. It deserved better treatment.

Yeah, I prefer "Stepkids". "Big Girls Don't Cry... They Get Even" is too cheesy.

I'll be the one to defend BGDCTGE as the title.

Stepkids is pedestrian, of no interest, easy.

Big Girls Don't Cry... They Get Even is a title of poetry, sophistication, wit, outside the box - a title to remember.

I agree. It’s the name that drew me to the movie. I saw it when it came out. I loved the name

as i said in other post: "In favor of the title they chose it's much more intriguing than just Stepkids." It is sell the movie although I don't think it represent the plot.
