THE YOUNG, THE HOT, AND THE BOTHERED

Finished this script by Leah Rachel.

When you work in development, it used to be after you read a script, you’d ask yourself “do I want to see this movie?”   Nowadays, after reading a script, you’re taught to ask yourself, “can we sell this movie?”

While I wouldn’t want to see THE YOUNG, THE HOT, AND THE BOTHERED, I know we could sell it.  The production wouldn’t cost much, you fill the cast with a group of young, upcoming actors (preferably ones on hit tv shows that are looking to get into film) you get a killer soundtrack and you’re off to the races.

Story’s about Gloria “GLORY” Felker – a 15-yr-old girl that’s experiencing an all-consuming crush on 17-yr-old TJ Piradisse.  It’s December 31, 1999 and there’s going to be a party to end all parties tonight.  Glory vows to crash the party in order to tell TJ exactly how she feels.

Along the way, we meet the supporting cast who are all trying to figure out exactly what love is.  Kinda reminds me of CAN’T HARDLY WAIT but told from the 15-yr-old girl’s point-of-view.  

The script needs another draft – it desperately needs a couple of standout scenes that we can put in the trailer.  The script needs more laugh aloud moments.
