Hi Group!
I am looking for people to read my hot-off-the-press comedy screenplay and
give feedback. It is draft Number 3. It's topical, so I need to get it completed
ASAP. ahj_2000@.... Here is an overview. I have it copyrighted.

Wall Street – Main Street
A super-wealthy, arrogant, Wall Street CEO – Montague Brassington - is enjoying
the high life, with the $517 million he makes his in time as CEO. He takes on
risky debt, such as subprime mortgages, to maximize his bank's short-term
profits and his bonuses.

His bank goes bankrupt much sooner than he suspected it might. His wife and
mistress turn their backs on him. He is forced to testify before Congress on the
bankruptcy. He is tried; the judge gives him massive fines, making him bankrupt,
and sentences him to work in a convenience store as a clerk for 5 years, in a
working class town. If he is fired or quits, he will have to do the 5 years in a
maximum-security prison.

He works under the assistant manager Josh, an ill-tempered jerk, whose father
was laid-off from Monty bank. In addition, Josh's parents got a large mortgage
from Monty bank with little money down, which they can no longer afford to pay.
They cannot afford to send Josh to college, so Josh tries to make Monty life a
living hell, it an attempt to make him quit to get him sent to prison.

Monty toil is eased somewhat by spending time with the lovely, single mother
Lori, her spirited son, Riley and their talented Labrador retriever.

Can Montague adjust to his penniless, working-class life? Can he get along with
the local colorful characters? Will he survive Josh's onslaught?

The movie is Clerks meets Wall Street.

Thanks!
Andrew
