   One article theorizes that most moviegoers had not Clue One what the   
   movie was about (who's that fella with the big head?) after the studio   
   dropped the original "Starship Dave" title.   
      
   Which brings up the cautionary lesson for studios:   
   We don't care if Disney also does it, in the end, it's just better NOT   
   to change the title of a would-be oddball comedy to "Meet..." if you're   
   desperately running out of ideas for how to sell it.
