This is the report from a professional script reader for the Final Draft Screenplay Contest:
“A hilarious screenplay. It moves like an out-of-control freight train but is consistently funny, and wry to the max. Great dialogue and repartee. A true glimpse at millennial city life, with especial skewering of cellphone-mania. Although dialogue-driven, it includes great physical comedy as well.” Elizabeth Steven
