I actually chuckled out loud when the shrink had a personal moment where he played with his action figures. That's funny. Because it's very possible. Many boys played with action figures growing up. I'm sure a few are tempted as an adult. They even did that on an episode of Seinfeld. It's funny.

But then it got all crazy. And the bobbleheads coming to life...would that make a third genre? I'm not going to dock points, but it seems to me you have comedy, action and...I''m not sure. Supernatural forces?

Anyway, this started out in a good direction, the writer feels competent, but then the train went off the tracks and down the highway and through the city and started flying to the moon.

See you in the next round! Good luck!

Pretty funny/silly, and I liked the creative interpretation and wild abandon approach you went with.
Just needs a bit of finessing and some added apostrophes (were you in a hurry?) but enjoyable nonetheless. I just pictured Bobbleheads instead of LEGOs.

I swear I’ve already reviewed this script?!  

This to me meets the criteria of action comedy.  Although the comedy wasn’t to my taste.

The character I liked least was the Stranger.  Bobble heads were quite central to your story so that’s a plus.

Well-done sendup--or putdown--of superhero flicks. I assume Stranger has no super-human powers, aside from his ability to swing two baseball bats at the same time, so how did he come crashing through the window? Did he rappel down or climb up? Seems like wasted effort when he could have strolled through the door the way Sonya did.

Hmm. This was pretty goofy.

Some oddly written action sequences that just weren't very visual. The comedy mostly didn't land for me. Not a big fan of spoofs. Though I did chuckle at the "Bobblnet" line.

Sorry, but it's just not for me.

This is well-done goofiness, though I'm not quite sure who the Stranger is supposed to be spoofing (doesn't seem like John Connor at all to me). Might be Deadpool, since he seems to know that his character name is STRANGER.

Definite puts action and comedy together, I'd say a better fusion than most I've seen.

The dialogue is almost all on-the-nose, but that seems to be a deliberate choice spoofing the generic This Is My Gruffy Explanations Voice kind of action hero.

This is not something I'd actually watch, but it was one of the more entertaining scripts I've read this round. Good job.


Feature-length scripts:
Who Wants to Be a Princess? (Family)
Glass House (Horror anthology)

TV pilots:
"Kord" (Fantasy)
"Mal Suerte" (Superhero)

Additional scripts are listed here.

Best fusion yet. And, by far, the greatest attempt at being funny throughout. Maybe not the funniest but pretty consistent to the end. Good job. I can see this as a 'Funny or Die' skit more than anything.

Decent banter and I liked the Stranger. Good story overall. Good work.
