Not your average high school comedy-drama. The different setting (Jesuit, all male high school) gives a look at the different kinds of trials of young romance.
1) Imported into a screenwriting program, this ran 145 pages! Romantic comedies (if that's what this is) are not supposed to be two and a half hours long. Duh. 2) Nothing like good clear prose: "His room is somewhat of a mess, but there is an order to this chaos." Either it's messy or it's not. Decide. 3) "As we pan across the room we see..." and "CLOSEUP ..." -- NO CAMERA DIRECTIONS or shots or anything to indicate the presence of a camera or an audience. In a spec script, everything is present tense as if we IN THE STORY, not watching it on a screen.
"It's just a rehash of something that wasn't very good to begin with. I found it flat and trite..." Sunset Boulevard (1950).
