Driving Aphrodite?!


For some reason, this is coming to UK cinemas as opposed to going straight to DVD, and even more inexplicably they've retitled it "Driving Aphrodite". Is it me, or is this new title completely meaningless?

Thomas, if you is a mouse catcher, I is Lana Turner - which I ain't...

While I don't understand the name change, several movies have alternate titles due to language subtleties, and England English has different words like bonnet for hood (car), chips for fires, and nappy for diaper. I guess they don't use napkins at the dinner table there.

we have chips and fries, chips are thicker, fries are skinny. I went to see this today, a few parts made me laugh, but didn't like it in all. Half the audience walked out before the final quarter, but bearing in mind there was only half a dozen in the theatre in the first place.

Any idea why they changed the title? Apart from hoping people wouldn't realise what film it actually was until it's too late and they'd already bought a ticket?

I guess it's a play on "Driving Miss Daisy." I have literally no idea. I am English and I can tell you that yes we do have Napkins as well as Nappys! xD
