As a young man, Ted Geisel meets his future wife Helen, who encourages his fanciful drawings, and in the 1950s when Ted is struggling professionally, Helen helps inspire the children?s book that will become his first big hit, ?The Cat in the Hat.
'Dr. Seuss in Love'? ;-) I like the idea, others have made good comments on the logline. Is there a personal journal Geisel must go through in order to see 'Cat in the Hat' to completion? There should be, and it should be in the logline.

I sadly concur with Steven on most points. I really like the idea of having 2 conflicting protagonists (if that indeed was the point) chasing a common enemy, but this is not quite right. I'm not sure about the suggestion of Mossad and Greenpeace? I think you want to take someone from a nation/culturRead more

I largely agree about hunting for Nazi’s. That being said, it depends on the type of movie. If it’s a more deliberate drama rather than action movie, trying to track down a ‘notorious Nazi war criminal’ might be very interesting. But you have to convey that the Nazi is really a bad, bad guy.
It’s a totally different sort of thing if this is an action movie, when then goes along the path Steven described.

I like the concept and the logline too. I do wonder if a little 'color' can be added. The structure of the logline is sound so it's hard to tinker with. Just an example, what if it led with "An inexperienced, [ADJECTIVE] hit woman accidentally kills..." The adjective is whatever primarily describesRead more

You could cut out additional verbage by using “an avenging mob hellbent on killing her and her family.” Using the word ‘threaten’ seems unnecessary. Is the avenging mob a mafia family? If so, what nationality? You could say “Italian mob” or “Irish mob” or whatever it is.
I second the recommendation to take out ‘and relatives’, its unnecessary words that could be used for something else. I am guessing this is a black comedy-type movie?
