To get the girl of his dreams a timid momma’s boy must team up with the local cat burglar, but her unorthodox methods put more than his love life at risk.

sorry -- just needed to clarify something I might of muddled up -- at the moment HE holds the cards (he has busted her and HE must keep silent for HER) as opposed to the cat burglar holding the cards -- and in turn forcing him to ACT.. anyway -- I'm sure you see what I mean ;)

fwiw (this is a tad long...):

'After getting caught cheating on an exam by a taciturn female classmate, a buttoned-down freshman agrees to join her on her nightly raids as a cat burglar in return for her silence.'

Hi Paul,

I remember this one as well -- I think Richiev's latest offering nails your story, very succinctly -- the cyrano de bergerac reference is gold. Interestingly, it's not dissimilar to your original June 13 logline...

To me, the issue is that at the moment he has to do something for her, namely, 'stay silent' -- all in order to 'get the girl'. I just can't see 100-110 minutes of screen time dealing with this... Put this up against him, a mama's boy (weak), HAVING to do something for HER (a cool/ sassy cat burglar -- for some reason I'm seeing a Grace Kelly type ;)) say, some big job...well... I know which one I'd be more likely to pay to see.

Maybe it comes down to what kind of film this is -- more rom-com or more crime/ heist. At the moment the logline treats the 'rom-com' as the 'A' story (getting the girl) while a crime plot line (anything to do with a cat burglar) is the 'B' story -- it just doesn't feel right -- just imo... for me, a better fit is the 'get the girl' story (whether that be some love interest he's after at the start, or the cat burglar) being the 'B' story (and not really worth either mentioning or emphasizing in the logline) with the cat burglar's story (and mama's boy's involvement...) acting as the 'A' story -- what the logline should be focused on.

Anyway -- best of luck nailing it -- not many cat burglar stories out there at the minute -- could be onto a winner if handled right. Best of luck.
