Anybody seen that? It's one of the few movies out there with the word "math" in it

Is 'Proof' a Must-See Movie for Math Enthusiasts?
In summary, the conversation is about a movie with the word "math" in its title and how it is unlikely to have any real math in it. The participants also discuss the potential of a movie solely focused on math and the unlikelihood of it being successful.

It is. Of course, I doubt there is any real math in it. Note that I said the word math is in the movie, not math.

Of course it just has the word math in it. Who in the hell would watch a movie that was strictly about math?
Ok, so after reviewing this definition we can now prove that x * e = x for all x in the set H. Woooo that would be a blast!

I'd love to see a movie that's entirely math.
Of course, bankrupcy isn't something that filmmakers look forward to, so I doubt I'll be seeing that hypothetical movie any time soon.
