“I never liked that title,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “I do now, but when Dan Fogelman wrote it, he didn’t title it. He didn’t call it anything. It was Untitled Dan Fogelman Project.”
“Everybody had an idea as to what the title should be, and no one could come up with one,” he continued. “Finally, Warner Bros. just said, ‘We’re calling it Crazy, Stupid, Love.’ I’m like, ‘Alright.’”
Now that the movie went on to be a hit, Steve says the title wasn’t that necessary for it’s success.
“I’m convinced that if it’s good and people like it, people will like the title,” he said. “Doesn’t even matter what you call it.”
