C'mon... The most logical thing to do was using the original title: Gigli is the main character's last name and most of all is an Italian word! (It means "lilies"). But they weren't happy with this, so they changed it with:
Tough Love - Amore estremo
They even dare to use a kind of "internet slang". I'm speechless...
2 Young 4 Me - Un fidanzato per mamma (a boyfriend for mom)
This "translation" is not even easy to remember for an Italian. So why? Why???
Destiny's Bride
The weird thing is they could use the Italian "Cenerentola" but prefered the English "Cinderella". I still don't understand why...
Cinderella - La leggenda di un amore (Legend of a love)
Van Wilder (2002)
Maial College
Note: "Maial" is an anglicized version of the Italian word "maiale", that means "pig". It has a meaning like Piggy College
A sequel has always the (horrible) tile of the first film
Maial College 2
Crossroads (1986)
It has been suggested by Andygo. As he said, the original title refers to the song "Crossroads" of Robert Johnson. But in Italy it became
Mississipi Adventure
Title translations may be necessary in some cases, but sometimes I wonder what the hell went on translator's mind making such horrible and ridiculos choices.
These are Italian titles.
Note: some translations in English are literal, so they could make no much sense.
This is about the bizzare habit of translating English titles with other English titles.
