HE'S FUCKIN PERFECT

Finished this script by Lauryn Kahn.

Story's about Charlie, an expert at finding out everything abou anybody through internet searches.  She's a cybersleuth, adapt at uncovering all your dirt.  She does so to prevent wasting time on prospective dates.

However, when a friend asks her to do some digging on a guy, Charlie uncovers the fact that he's fucking perfect and sabotages this budding romance so she can have the guy all to herself.

Kahn is a great comedy writer and has created an insanely likeable character in Charlie.  She then comes up with a terrific comedy-relief bestfriend in Betsy. 

The story works on so-many levels.

However, the drawback is, the situation that keeps the lovers apart is minimal at best.  Turns out, Charlie falls for the perfect guy's bestfriend.  This could be grounds for dramatic conflict except for the fact that Charlie and the perfect guy (Evan) clearly have nothing in common.  Right off the jump, we realize they're not going to be together so keeping them together drags things onward.

Also, the dramatic conflict would stem from the fact that Charlie's stealing a guy from her friend.  However, Charlie doesn't care for this friend nor does anyone else in the script so this conflict really doesn't exist.  That situation could have been exploited for comic gold.    

It might play better if the perfect guy was really perfect for Charlie yet she still found herself attracted to the bestfriend.  It could be pointing that a match that looks perfect on paper might not be what the heart is after.    

If you get a strong comedic lead to play Charlie, the film might have a chance.  However, you could hit a homerun if you strengthen the dramatic conflict.
