On "Californication", what is the name of the movie adaptation of Hank's book?

On “Californication,” the movie adaptation of Hank Moody’s book is titled “A Crazy Little Thing Called Love.”

The film is adapted from Hank’s novel “God Hates Us All,” which has already become a commercial success before the television series begins. Hank is bitter about the adaptation because he believes Hollywood has transformed his serious, darker novel into a sentimental and heavily altered movie. The title is also a reference to Queen’s song “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.”

The fictional movie is directed by Todd Carr, whose relationship with Hank becomes especially hostile. In the first season, Hank’s frustration with the film’s quality and its success helps establish his contempt for Hollywood’s compromises. Later, the movie is reworked as a musical project involving rocker Atticus Fetch, extending the story’s recurring conflict between artistic integrity and commercial entertainment.

A common mix-up is confusing the film’s title with Hank’s novel: “God Hates Us All” is the book, while “A Crazy Little Thing Called Love” is its movie adaptation.
