Some movies fail on the terrible titles alone


Who the heck named this movie? What a dreadful title. Sounds like a porn movie. Given who is in it, it obviously is not.

I'm not so sure... IMHO It depends entirely on how seriously it takes itself.

Was originally named "Not So Young People *beep*

Glad they didn't go with that, as it doesn't describe the movie at all. Maybe it should have been "a heart warming story of an orgy", because that's what it was. Not that a movies name needs to describe the movie of course, but thought I would describe it to those thinking about seeing it. This movie is less about sex than suppression of desires, Victorian age repressed sexuality, played almost naked, that is.
I liked the movie, although the emotionally stale stench of a small town upbringing seems a worn out premise in American cinema. Can't see how that subject could be handled in a fresh way, though I guess there are still a lot of people who can relate to the subject matter. Personally I couldn't. The movie being small, on the other hand, was to it's credit.

I think that poster was being facetious. There is a movie called "Young People *beep*" which also has an indie feel and is also less shallow than the title would suggest when it comes to examining sexual themes

And they are so desperate they are pulling BS like this to promote it.

It's memorable in this era of really simple, generic titles.

Haha, funny ! I call it "prude nude": she maybe nude, but you would not know because of some dude above/in front/whatever blocking the view. You american people might still blush ... for us europeans the promotion and the movie just calls for a bitter laugh !

I mean, that's a pretty obvious non-serious tweet, but you do you.

I try to always do me.
I didn't take it seriously for a second (I assume I really don't remember the details clearly) but thought the readers would enjoy.

The movie was enjoyable enough. Kept me entertained. Admittedly no a high bar to clear.

I wish I could remember the name of the movie that this was almost exactly the same as except it was a group of long term friends rather than the less than close group in this film. If I could I would recommend it as slightly better than this film.

I believe you're referring to "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy" with Jason Sudeikis. That was a surprisingly enjoyable movie.

Its gonna be a porno.

I thought it was pretty f* funny, and it sure sounded like the audience I was in did too. Given a bit of time and a moderate release, word of mouth could serve it well. Plus half the budget was already covered by crowd funding, so the profit threshold is that much lower. BYOAB
