Loved the script.

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.

A quick read, and definately worth your time.

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.
