Hi Tim and Barry,
I didn't see your user names here so I won't leave a detailed review if you guys aren't active members. Just don't want to leave lots of feedback if you guys aren't there to read it.

The logline left me very skeptical, but I've read the first 20 pages and am really impressed with what you have here. Really funny with a nice touch of weirdness.

The Rastafarians bonding over an episode of Everybody loves Raymond was a great set up for their characters.
You've got a main character that has a need that he is obsessed with, which comes across as strange at first, but since he's so obsessive about it I bought into it right away.
Anyway, good stuff so far, will finish up soon.
Nate

The first four pages are dynamite, truly hilarious, just the way a comedy should open. I think it was the element of surprise that made it so, I didn't see that coming from the first few lines.

I am definitely choosing this as my next reading project. I'll be back when I'm done reading the script.
