I enjoyed reading this. My favorite character was definetly James, I can relate to him. Call me crazy but all through the script I had this feeling him and Allen had a thing for each other? Kinda like Ben Affleck and whats his names character in chasing Amy. Am I just imagining this?

I can't comment on your story because I was turned off almost immediately by the tremendous amount of misspells -- at least five within the first three minutes of reading, which is where I stopped.

It may sound nit-picky, but that kind of thing will get your script tossed aside faster than you can say "spell check."  

Your descriptions seem to include tidbits which are inconsequential.  Does a female character being a registered nurse have anything to do with the story?  If not, drop it.  If it does, don't TELL us she's a registered nurse.  SHOW us she's a registered nurse.  Same for many other character descriptions ("he's a real estate agent," etc.).

I can't speak for other readers here, but I lose interest quickly when format and spelling errors stand out more than what's actually being told or said.  Some here and there are okay if it's just a draft you'd not planned on submitting -- but when they're more prevalent than any script or character aspect, I tend to just not bother.

ok I'm now starting to read this and already the first five pages have annoyed me. Like hell would three or four big-time businessmen (the TV executives I mean) use that many expletives, It's ridclious.

GUys thanks for the replies.  I am writing a second draft and I'm using what you guys are writing to make it a better script.  So, thanks everyone and I hope the second draft will be better.
