I would've refused to see Raising Helen based on the trailer, but even before then I knew I'd be boycotting it based solely on the title. Punny titles are the worst... and normal puns are bad enough (Beautician and the Beast), but when they do it with names, argh! I can just picture the pitch for this... "It's like 'Raising Hell,' which is cool, but the girl's name is Helen, so it's 'Raising Helen'... clever, right?" Hardly. What's next, "Walk Like Amanda?" "Stark Raving Madison?" "Live or Let Diane?" Shit, I hope I'm not giving people ideas...
