      Huh? Why would an “overly protective” mother hire a prostitute for her son? What’s she trying to “protect” him from?

      Fair call… She (the mother) doesn’t want him sleeping with anyone, let alone the ‘town scamp’. she doesn’t feel he’s ready for a sexual relationship. She hires the prostitute, not to sleep with her son, but to try and force him to fall out of love with the ‘town scamp’.

      …and maybe ‘overly protective’ isn’t quite apt; she’s a high flying corporate lawyer, recently divorced…

      Yes, please reconsider ‘overly protective’.

      If she doesn’t think he’s ready for a sexual relationship — why does she hooks him up with a hooker? Of all people. Sorry, I can’t get past the premise because it just doesn’t compute.

    5. Thanks for the feedback dpg — it’s definitely got issues… but just toying with the idea at the moment, and mainly to stretch those logline muscles.

      She doesn’t hire the hooker to have sex with her son, she only wants the hooker to lure her son away from his current beau. Of course, it doesn’t have to be a hooker, it could be she pays the school ‘it’ girl to do the job; and the son’s girlfriend isn’t necessarily ‘the town scamp’, it’s just that that’s the way the Mum sees her. Again, very embryonic (possibly idiotic), and definitely a comedy.

      Definitely a comedy. Why not go for irony: the smother-mother “rescues” her son from the “town tramp”, only to get involved in an torrid affair with a low-life gigolo herself.

    7. Have you considered using the prostitute as you main protagonist ??

      In the logline, the mother and son are passive and the prostitute is active.

      “Contacted by a militant mother, a greedy prostitute attempts to pose
      as a high school student to break up the budding romance of her boss’ son.”

    8. Thanks Tor – you’ve managed to do something that I’m struggling with, which is keeping the logline to just one sentence.
