| I think it's actually laughing at the humour that it portrays, not promoting it.
Still satire against slapstick is always weak. |

| Spelling was awful, and it seems that the absurdity was really a crutch for not having an actual idea. Study the Kids in the Hall if you want a real lesson in absurdist humor. |

|
| I'm almost embarresed to admit this, but I thought this was hilarious! It was SO stupid that I was laughing pretty much the entire time. The format needs a bit of work and the story makes no sense, bad dialog, but I'm giving it a 4 because it's just so f*@$&!g funny! |
| From J.J |

 |
| Holy crap! I just couldn't stop laughing! It was SO STUPID! In a good way. There should seriously be more scripts and movies like this. A little to much toilet humor, but still side-splitting. I have never actually laughed out loud at a script before, just a few belly laughs, but man this was funny! |

|
| It's hard to read a screenplay with so many spelling errors. I'm not sure where you wanted to go with this, but I think the best you could hope for is a SNL type skit. |
| From jonathanm |

|
| the best, i thought this was the best. you did a great job writing it and i love every page of the screenplay. |
| From Greg Baldwin |

|
| This was a very stupid script but I found myself laughing all the way through. I expected the worst out of this, and aside from your terrible synopsis and spelling, this was entertaining. If you don't like toilet humor and fart jokes, this isn't for you, but if you can enjoy an immature laugh, then by all means check this out. Not bad, dude, not bad. |

| Your script was pretty stupid, but I guess that obviously was the purpose of it. tupidity is part of it's charm, and I do love the dumb comedy. Some parts did make me laugh, so I guess mission accomplished. Any story that starts out that a guy wakes up, farts and laughs really loud in the first two lines is okay in my book. So, I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and give you a two, which in my opinion is the best you should hope for from this. And watch that spelling and grammar. What's really funny is that right at the end, after the fat guy dies, there's an add saying to lose weight fast with their product. Now if that aint funny, I don't know what is. |
| From Adam North |
Date 11/12/2005 |
|
| Ok.........I know you can never judge a script by the beginning, but I was going to. I was wrong, and the script turned out to be hillarious. It would be great as a short. Sure it was stupid, but also very funny. Some spelling that you need to work on though. |
| From Christine Nordyk |
Date 11/11/2005 |
|
| It was all right ... a little too much farting, but whatever ... a little more practice and you should do good ... congratulations!! |

| No offense, but that was really an awful screenplay. No plot, and the humor level was that of an 8-year-old. Next time have a story-line in place before you begin a script. |

|
| I couldn't come to care about any of your characters. After a couple of *funny* pages, I couldn't take the sustained artificial *funny*. Also, why does the Jeanne appear out of no where? Why does the protaganist disapear suddenly? I had high hopes for this script within the first two pages. Maybe this is a "practice" script. But it could be good if there was focus, conflict and a story arc. |
| From Zach Shevich |
Date 11/9/2005 |
|
| It was just...odd, weird, I don't know. A couple okay chuckles from the way it looks like it know it's being stupid but overall I'd just say...wtf? |
| From Jeremy Moore |
Date 11/7/2005 |
|
| As far as slap stick humor goes it isn't too bad. I personally don't find kids dying very funny.. but it did get the point across. |
| From Sean Elwood |
Date 11/7/2005 |
|
| Okay I really don't know what to say about this, but one thing, you need to work on your spelling. It was actually pretty funny towards the end, but the farting part was a little immature. But the rest was funny. |
