Reported Problem for Easy Sex
posted by unkilbeegSTAFFMOD on January 26, 2018 at 12:49 AM
Item: Easy Sex
Language: en
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: The primary original title for this movie is listed as "Easy Six" but the correct title is "Easy Sex". I changed the translated to title to be "Easy Sex", but that's not really a fix. The cover image has the crosspieces of the "E" really washed out, so it's an easy mistake to make, but other covers show it clearly. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a high enough resolution image to upload. Incidentally, IMDB also has the wrong title.

I'm getting results for both, I'll try to look for pages from producers though,
Netflix calls it Easy Sex, but Amazon Easy Six (and Easy Sex/ Easy 6 as alternatives or something). Variety reviews it as Easy Six too.
I'm thinking it was released at Hamptons International Film Festival as Easy Six, but later got a DVD release Easy Sex... then Easy Sex become the original title.
But the DVD release seems to be Dutch, I don't know if that should influence it... I think it should... because if it was released in only Poland, and not the Netherlands, it would mean it would get the Polish title?!?!
I don't know if there's English-language-countries DVD releases too? I can't find any right now.
Oh wait, there is of course! I changed it!
Next time, don't do English on English translations though. If a movie is English created, and the original title is locked, use the report button to get it changed. Translated title (English) should always be blank. It's outlined here in the contribution bible.

Thanks! I double checked the main titles in the film itself, and it's definitely "Easy Sex". I don't know why it would be a Dutch release -- the actors appear to be American (notably Jim Belushi) and the locations are Florida and Las Vegas. It's all in English. I think it's a Showtime production.
I can only think that all the listings for "Easy Six" are a result of looking at the red version of the cover. It really is an "E" in "SEX", but the cross-pieces of the "E" are so faded that it looks like an "I". There's nothing in the plot that suggests the number 6.
I apologize for doing the translation title. I knew it was the wrong thing to do, but I did it before I figured out how to do a report.

According to google, it's a craps term.
And I agree with @alltimemarr. Easy Six was the festival title (it is also used by the director and in the old trailer I added) and the title was changed for the showtime DVD release. They could be other releases in between, but they are hard to find.

Sorry, I meant a Dutch DVD release, the one I found most easily, at first, was a Dutch DVD, on Amazon listed as import, and the cover was also obviously Dutch, with the Dutch "Kijkwijzer" logo (parental guidance logo, like PG-13 for America and such). Not that it was a Dutch product of course, But like, a DVD released in the Netherlands
but it would be an interesting discussing. What if a certain movie only had a festival release in its homeland? And in other foreign countries, it had a DVD release? I still think the original title would need to be the festival title. Unless it's for example a British film festival movie, with an American DVD release, as it's both English, and we don't have en-GB and en-US split
