Well, I thought I would read this because no one has given you input yet.

First of all, it's not good. I didn't read the content because the formatting was all wrong. I'm not going to be too hard on you about it, because for all I know, this is your first script. It looks very...very...similar to the first scripts I wrote with everything centered. Don't do this.

If you want to continue this series or screenwriting at all, go to Barnes and Noble and pick up a copy of Screenwriting for Dummies. This is what I did. Read it cover to cover. It helped a bunch. Then read scripts posted on the site and study them like they are your best friend.

After you've done all that, come back ready to write.

Ok, the script is very, very cheesy. I agree with Bangston, the script is in the wrong format but I had the same problem of Microsoft Word 2007 putting too many extra lines in when I wrote Knickcrick Comprehensive. I think also that it is too short. Unless you want it to last 5 minutes.
