When a broke but aspiring law student working as a seat filler falls in love with a popular singer, he pretends to be a famous entertainment lawyer.
I haven't see the movie either, only know about it based upon what is available on IMDB.? But I am inclined to agree with mikepedley85 that the inciting incident probably ought to be framed in terms of the pop star mistaking his identity.Her mistaking him seems to be the event that creates the opporRead more

Her mistaking him seems to be the event that creates the opportunity for him to crash the party, to become an industry insider.? Once he’s crashed the party, the plot is about what he must he do to maintain the charade, to not be exposed and ejected. The love relationship that develops between the two is, of course, the subplot that provides both opportunities and complications.
However, I have a different take on whether the current logline casts the character in an unfavorable light.? A? lot (most?)? Hollyweird players got to be players using some amount of pretense, dissimulation.? So they sympathize with, even admire, characters who can pull it off by B.S. and bluffing.? For them those attributes are not character flaws, but character strengths necessary to make it in a Darwinian competitive business. And I venture that audiences are willing to give a pass to characters faking it because they perceive the system is unfair, that the rules are rigged to keep outsiders (like them!) on the outside.

Ginsburg was playing a long game. She used the case to (short term) establish a precedent to (long term) take down laws that discriminated against women.? One law at a time –? that’s the way the legal system works.? The film focuses on the opening round of decades of trench warfare against laws that discriminate against women.
BTW: The inciting incident (her husband bring to the case to her attention) occurs in the 40th minute of the film.?

As mikepedley85 said. What's the source of tension?? What's the dramatic problem that MUST be solved? What is the retired rock star's objective goal?? And what are the stakes-- why should we in the audience care what happens (or not)?
