It's overused? Times-Roman has been around since 1931.
It's not unreadable, it's not ugly. It may be cutesy, but it fits the movie.

Never said you were ignorant, but you are in the 1%. I haven't seen the movie, but if it's lost for someone because of the font, they probably weren't going to be fair minded about it anyway.
And yeah, it is jumping on the "We're so typographically sophisticated blah blah crowd." I wonder how well they'd do with this quiz?
