If you just heard the title and knew nothing about that plot, "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" could actually be about that really annoying family that lays down right next to you at the beach, amirite?

With a name like that, it could be talking about so many things. Like your neighbors on the other side of the wall having loud sex, for example.

Or worse, it could be about an annoying kid inexplicably allowed to wander the streets of New York alone bothering numerous people in an attempt to unravel a mystery left behind by his dead father.

Was I the only one who thought the kid was whiney and annoying?
