Okay, help me out, guys. Without knowing anything about the movie's plot, besides that it's a comedy/romantic comedy, which of the following titles most gets you interested in seeing or finding out more about the film?

S.T.F.U. is the really divisive one. People love or hate it. I tend to think it's too jokey and gimmicky - for my film, anyway - but my manager (and obviously others) seem to like it best. I tend to favor the two "personality" ones.

truly, the only reason they love it is because of the kitsch factor. Try creatively punctuating one of the personality ones you like. i think you might be able to have some kind of compromise that doesn't ring too stale.
