Help with a title?

[milos_mommy]

Alrighttttt, so as some of you may know, i am a writer/aspriring director. Hopefully within a few months I'll be filming my VERY FIRST short film! I think it will run about 15-20 minutes. The tagline is: a suburban mom of 5 wild kids takes them grocery shopping with disasterous results.

So far, the working title is Child Seat. i may or may not keep this title. So i'm asking Chaz's help. Here's some more info to help you choose:

The characters are:

Jennifer - a 30-something, tired, annoyed, overworked mom of four.
Sophie - 12, very booksmart, often corrects people, a bit of a smart-ass, passionate about animals/the enviroment, stands up for herself and her beliefs.
Ethan - the trouble-maker, 9 years old, very into sports, always fights with Sophie.
Bella - age 5, the drama queen. A little spoiled, very diva, etc.
Mattie - age 2 or 3. All boy, tries to keep up with the big kids, often breaks rules simply because he's too young to understand them.
And their so-far unnamed big dog, who is as wild as the kids.

So, what would you call this? (it's a dramatic comedy...mostly very light with a small bit where the Mom overreacts and says some innappropriate things to her children)

Yea but one and a fur one when its a place that doesnt have food LOL. I can handle one or two if they are well behaved but some of these brats I see around here. Lets jsut say if i had acted that way it woulda been a trip to the bathroom for me.

i know! Don't you love when you hear a parent tell their child to do something and the kid goes "no."!?!?!?! I'm like "uhhh, did you just say NO to your mother????" When i grew up that was like, the ultimate sin. You did NOT say "No" to Mommy.

something with 6 since there are 6 characters? Half Dozen...Very UnBrady-Like...6 Good Reasons...Take Six

Aisle 5 (Like as in "Cleanup in Aisle 5") Or whatever aisle number you want or that a particularly good (or evil) scene takes place in...or the breakthrough moment, whichever.

The Clash had a great tune called "Lost In The Supermarket".
"I Can See For Aisles (and Aisles)"

I love that song! I was actually thinking of calling the dog in the film Strummer or Jones, cause of that song!

Good suggestions everyone, thanks.

I love the line "I can no longer shop happily"...that's just genuis. I use that all the time when the kiddos start to get that nerve when we're out and about. I tell DH..."that's it...we gotta go...I can no longer shop happily..."

lol. Thats why we take my moms dog she's quite and jsut sleeps LOL

The title "Birth Control" popped into my head and made me giggle.

But seriously...perhaps using an item she's shopping for as the title could work? I don't know if your mother character has a 'goal item' she's after or not, but for example it could be called "Milk" or "The Milk", as in...she has to go to all that trouble and embarrassment, just to get the darn milk. LOL

thats what my vote is for

I liked Zoom's idea. At the end you can have a voice come on 'Clean up on aisle 6, *crash*, clean up on aisle 1, *shatter*, cleanup on aisle 5' *fade to black*

There's a reason I'm a science major and not acting, though...actually two.

 

[milos_mommy]

"Birth Control" is hilarious...i also like "Milk" (which is funny because at the end, she gets home, realizes she forgot the milk, and calls her husband to go pick some up.)
