Your logline isn’t bad, however, I would personalize ‘the parents’ with, ‘his parents’ or ‘their parents’
Here is an attempt at a re-write:
—–
“When his parent’s flight is delayed, a man-child elder brother must take charge of his dysfunctional family’s Christmas.”
——
Hope that helped
Thank you very much, very helpful 🙂
This. But the “man-child elder brother” reference made me do a double-take. In the 2008 movie Step Brothers – they were referred to as “aimless”.
So,
“When his parent’s flight is delayed, an aimless elder brother must take charge of his dysfunctional family’s Christmas.”
Anyway, this is good stuff, a succinct logline!
Possible Title: Christmas and other disasters
I absolutely love this log line. I find this very intriguing and would definitely be interested in reading the screenplay
