TWEAKED

Finished this teleplay by Jon Favreau.

This just goes to show, you direct a huge blockbuster, you can write your own ticket. 

There is nothing about this pilot that warrants a greenlight.  There isn't even anything in this script that warrants development. 

Story's about a single mother dealing who meets a single guy while dropping off her son at school.  Turns out the guy is a chef and his restaurant is the hottest spot in town. 

That's the whole plot.  Talk about thread-bare.  This is a series???  This is an article in Cosmopolitan.  This is ridiculous.  CBS clearly wants to be in the Jon Favreau business.  This project though is half-baked.  Unless Iron Man is going to show up in the second episode, I'd get out now.
