A lowly bartender planning her upcoming marriage has her Celebrity Free Pass, the one famous person she can sleep with without any consequences from her partner, walk into her bar, creating a world of problems for herself when she accepts his advances.

A "Celebrity Free Pass" is where the other partner is fully informed and gives his (or her) informed consent. Otherwise, it's just old-fashioned cheating. What's so unique and interesting about that?

The novelty of the concept lies in the premise that two hip, broad-minded people think they can handle a "Celebrity Free Pass" situation -- and then unexpected emotional complications ensue. Come to find out, they can't handle it.

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it - Yeah I was thinking that it would be different to Hall Pass in that it would not be sanctioned by her partner and that much of the drama would come from her dilemma of whether to reveal it to her husband or not. The stakes are her marriage ending but she can technically pursue the crush and tell her partner without damaging their relationship or try to keep it hidden and risk greater repercussions if it is revealed to him later on, given that she then would have deceived him. I was thinking that if you used a real celebrity there would be humor in there carefully-groomed public appearance being far different from that of their real persona which could be very slovenly, erratic or unstable to the point of putting her in danger. So maybe something like, 'After sleeping with her Celebrity Free Pass without her husband's knowledge, a woman's life is turned upside down when the celebrity is not at all like his public persona and will not give her up'. This then creates the free pass as the antagonist if he is in opposition of her goal of maintaining her marriage. I was also deliberating on whether to have the protagonist be a a man or woman and trying to figure out whether the potential scope of a story like this would work best as a feature length film or more as a plot-line to a half-hour sitcom. Thanks again for the feedback.
