It's because it's an absolutely stonking premise for a film.  That premise can't fail to attract audiences and it doesn't even need much of a budget.  Best of all, it can be pitched in exactly six words.

A Freudian slip is saying one thing when you really meant to say a mother.

Can you hear me Major Thom?
