bad title

Considering the ubiquity of the word "epic" these days, the title is rather generic and boring. From a marketing standpoint it just seems like a bad choice.

I would never have seen it if I wasn't looking for some light fare to clean by. I had only seen the title and poster shot, and I figured, "meh." But, glad I saw it. It was entertaining. Only problem is I was too engrossed to actually do any cleaning.
