I also read the screenplay on the Internet--or started to, anyway, until I
decided about 20 pages in that I was enjoying it so much that I'd rather
wait to see the finished product.
When I did, I was a bit disappointed. I felt that what had seemed insightful
on paper (or the computer screen, as it were) was just awkward on film, and
that Smith was a better screenwriter than filmmaker. In short, I think Kev
was in a little over his head with this one.
