I really enjoyed this script and it only got better on second reading. It is wonderfully touching and comic; and peppered with quirky, interesting, likeable and well rounded characters and interactions.

It is rare that a script has me chuckling out loud but this one did consistently, I loved the offbeat world that is created. The dialogue is smart as well as funny. The characters elicit genuine concern for their fate. The pacing and structure flow, the plot twists and turns and never loses momentum, as you go on an adventure with these characters to achieve a seemingly ridiculous goal for an end which you can’t yet fathom, but yet trust the protagonists in their assessment that it is important.

I think the writing in this script is a cut above and the film has genuine potential as a character comedy with a fun story in a worthwhile setting. There is plenty of fodder here for a hilarious and touching trailer, and I think audiences will respond to it as a refreshing alternative to studio fare, a genuine comedy with a British and eastern European feel, and a lot of substance.

VLAD is a wonderful multilayered character. Damaged but unruffled, kind and thoughtful but hard as well, an un-clichéd romantic. His flirtation with Dorothy is wonderful from the start when he asks her out in the most thick-skinned way, to his sweet note to her - ‘I am mortified to have left you in the abandoned..’. Females in the audience will be drawn in by his charm in the same way that Dorothy is. His dialogue is wonderful, his use of English is charming but things he says have great insight.

TREVOR is a wonder, great character of comedy and pathos. I enjoyed the fact that Vlad’s crazy scheme happened to save Trevor’s life as a bi-product.
