Finished this script by Christopher Baldi.
Story's about an aging rock star who becomes a nanny in order to prove to his pregnant model-girlfriend that he's ready to settle down and have kids.
Most family-film scripts are nauseating to me but this one was enjoyable. Baldi knows how to write, allowing his comedic skills shine through the pages. He's adept at both visual humor and one-liners. He's created a likeable lead that will carry the film. Put Johnny Depp in the role or Bradley Cooper and the film should be a hit.
Good moments between the lead and the kids. If there's one thing that's missing, it's heavy emotional scenes. He should somehow horrendously ruin their lives and then make amends.
A good read. A filmable script. That's rare these days.
