Re: A Boy's Tail 7-15
A Tale Named George.
The screenplay is a fast read with a lot of white between the pages. I think this script transcends the typical high school, fish out of water yarn, by the unique concept. I would think this would be an entertaining film for younger people. I also liked the plot development as Tad moves from local freak to celebrity to expelled outcast. Good stroke here in plot development. Tommy is a fresh, vivid character with some great witty lines. She is fully developed and counterbalances the themes of the screenplay. I also liked how Act III culminates with the PTA meeting and the resolution by the surprising Stu.
I don’t have any complaints or suggestions to improve on the script. I did find the opening choppy and you might want to flesh out a couple of those scenes. On page 6, mom chases Tad down to give him sack lunch, and then on page 8, you have Tommy using his 10 bucks lunch money to treat Tad?
Being I have nothing to really improve on the screenplay, I would give it a recommend in the genre of young children and family.
Good job and good luck.
