This story has much in common with The Princess Bride. Both are action comedies with witty dialogue. However, The Princess Bride was more of a family film. I can see this translated to film. It's humor is very off-beat and there was some excellent dialogue. I noticed that you kept the character names Caps through out the entire script. Another thing, even though I like witty and grabbing dialogue, I felt it was a bit dialogue heavy. I felt that certain scenes needed more description. The script was enjoyable. I read it strait through. Jerry

A very good read. I may have to get the book to see what differences there are. Was your goal to stick to the book or to make it your own?
My only gripe is the last few lines, including the final one, "I think we should eat." Maybe cut out the last two dialogue parts, or make them stronger. That's my 1/2 a penny... All in all, this was an enjoyable adventure. thanks for the read.
