we have a winner

...for worst-translated movie title.

In the US this movie is called No Strings Attached. I'm not saying the American title makes the movie look any less terrible, and I don't like generalizing things and blaming "France," but why must France take English titles and change them to poor English? Why not just change them to French?

Why, France?

The runner-up:

    Love it - I'm sure there's got to be an award for this sort of thing next Tuesday?

    All the best

    Ha, at least they didn't call it what they normally call a f*ckbuddy, ie "le f*cking friend".

    But speaking of which, what is up with that anyways? I mean if they're going to use English words, why not just use the ACTUAL word we use? It's like "relooking" - why not just say "le makeover"? Why, France, WHY?????

    HAHAHAHA!!! "Sex Friends", I love it! I can't believe that there isn't a polite equivalent of "f*ckbuddy" in French!

I had to add a captcha because one of my posts has the word "Google" in it and it was attracting spam robots like some sort of honey-covered robot magnet.
