Life's a mess

Chatty slice of unabandoned hopes. Wot?

Two failing actors bluff their way into the chance of a screenplay deal and head for the country to get down to work. Their retreat is invaded by people with relationship dilemmas, and the plan goes awray.

I liked this, but it's at least 20m too short. They give up on the screenplay idea halfway through, so all that story potential drains away and is left to a couple of short scenes at the end. There should at least have been a long scene where they do a run through of over egged writing.

Lovely acting and dialogue, with some nice philosophy and conflict at the end. The location is good and all the characters are sympathetic.

Not sure the speccy girl's story should have ended up with the actor - the surfer was the one for her.
