WE HATE YOUR GIRLFRIEND

Finished this script by Wendy Molyneux & Lizzie Molyneux.

Extremely well written.  The character of Mercy Moser jumps off the page. 

However, as NO STRINGS ATTACHED and FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS have shown us, romcoms dependent upon dialogue for laughs have a hard time finding a wide audience.  WE HATE YOUR GIRLFRIEND falls into this category. 

Today's comedies require visual jokes.  The more outlandish the better.  Think BRIDESMAIDS or THE HANGOVER.  WE HATE YOUR GIRLFRIEND doesn't contain any visual humor which makes it a hard sell.  The Molyneux girls are talented writers but they're probably better suited in television.

Story's about a group who hate their friend's (CALEB) girlfriend.  The girlfriend breaks up with Caleb sending him into a tailspin.  Along comes Mercy Moser who's a dead ringer for the girlfriend.  The friends come up with an idea to have Mercy pose as the girlfriend in order to bring Caleb closure so that he can move on with his life.

Pass on the script but the writers are definitely ones to keep an eye on.
