Hardly. "I heart Huckabees" strikes me as a pretty awkward expression
syntactically and semantically, no matter the alliteration.

If you look at the title shots in the film and in the trailer, and look
at the advertising spreads (even on the IMDB page), you'll see the title
uses the heart icon. But you're right, the "textual" title in IMDB is
different -- someone decided the heart icon couldn't be represented in
text and so put "heart" in instead -- at least, everything seems to
point to that in my mind.
