Based on the play “Thoothpaste and Cigars” by T.J. Dawe and Michael Rinaldi, and written by Elan Mastai, whose previous credits include Alone in the Dark, MVP: Most Vertical Primate and Sk8 Life. But don’t let those credits scare you off, this screenplay has been making a lot of buzz around town.The impression that I get is that it’s a romantic dramedy for people who don’t usually like those type of movies.
The story is described as a story about “Two best friends struggle with falling in love without ruining the bond between them.” Here is a longer plot description thanks to 12pt Courier:
The script also currently #12 on ScriptShadow’s reader top 25 unproduced screenplays list. They write:
“This movie is basically an R-rated semi-romantic comedy. Wallace and Chantry meet and fall in love. Chantry has a boyfriend, so Wallace is stuck in shitty friend-zone. Chantry has to figure out if she wants to stay with her boyfriend or go with Wallace. Wallace has to figure out a way to show Chantry how he feels about her, without possibly ruining their friendship forever.”
“There’s no denying The F Word has a thin premise, but it’s the execution that sets this apart from all the other clones.”
Holdridge’s In Search of a Midnight Kiss got good reviews at film festivals but went under the radar of most. Check out the trailer below:
