      This sounds like it could be really funny. Sort of a Vince Vaughn “Dodgeball” type story. Its a little too specific in the writing (the name and the “regional invitationals”), but I like the concept.

      You don’t have to scrap the story. The one in this movie does not seem to be about convincing an ex to join the team. You should just be aware of that other movie when writing yours. Don’t let the fact that someone else is doing a trivia movie discourage you from writing yours. Chances are they are completely different. Good luck!

      Oh wow. I’d not ever heard of that. It’s not exactly like my story, but pretty close. Oh well. To the scrap heap with this one.

      Thanks dude.

      I would refrain from using character names in your logline unless that name helps the audience understand the character. In this stage, it doesn’t matter to us that he is named Mark. You’re better off using descriptive words to tell us what he is like or what he does for a living. It might also help us understand why he must convince his ex to join if you tell us what her area of trivia expertise is. Otherwise it might all feel a bit… well, trivial.

      My other suggestion is to be aware of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uykl2z_7N_0

      I am not saying you are ripping it off, but you should be aware that it exist so as not to get too close to it.

      Good luck!
