When a teenager and his best friend get his father fired they must help him find a job even though he has 2 skills (watching tv and eating)

I think there is a potentially interesting story to tell here, but I'm not sure what the point is of this one -- the theme. What idea does the writer wish to explore? ?Theme is external to the content of a logline -- but it implicitly shapes it as it is an integral part of the story proper, or ought to be. ?What is the point of this concept other than to use the father as a comic foil, to play him for a fool?

If the main character is the father then his?inciting incident would best be described as an event forced on him i.e:
After being fired a lazy man must rely on his son to help him find a new job.

Agreed with DPG about the circumstances of the father getting his job in the first place and then loosing it thereafter, it doesn't seem to make sense that someone like him got a job in the first place and it's not clear why he needs the son to find a new one.

Perhaps if you were to describe the father as having been cut off from the rest of the world with regards to the job market. What if he were an aristocrat or a billionaire who lost all the family's money and must rely on the son to get around in the "real" world.
