I don’t know, guys. Reading these scripts these days is frustrating. Most writers give you what I call “I finished it” scripts. These are scripts where the writer wants validation just for finishing the script. That should never be the goal of the writer. Nobody gets a gold star for finishing a script. You get the gold star for writing a great story. Finishing the script should almost feel like it’s getting in the way because your story is so damn awesome that nobody wanted it to end.
This script is an “I finished it” script. It wants accolades for getting to page 114 and not embarrassing itself. That is not, nor should it ever be, the criteria for writing a screenplay.
