THE INTERN

Finished this script by Stuart Gibbs and Mike Rosemont.

Comedy's about two friends that decide to rob a bank and hire an unsuspecting college intern to help them pull the job off.  Along the way, loanshark henchmen, FBI and a private security firm intensify the complications.

Script has its moments but ultimately it's not wild enough for THE HANGOVER crowd nor does it contain enough comedic sequences to satisfy the 30 MINUTES OR LESS audience.

It's a by-the-numbers story.  We can see all the plot points pages before they hit.  The saving quality is what it has to say about college work vs. the real world.  It's not cheating it's just out-manuevering.

Pass on the script.  By the writers are worth taking another look at.
