After she finds divorce papers, a desperate make-up artist goes to extreme measures to turn herself into her husbands ideal woman, but when she discovers that he actually dreams of becoming a woman she has to face what is really keeping them together.
some nice re-working throughout the thread. Just a possibly whacky idea, and not the film you've got on your hands... but just fwiw: When an out of work make up artist learns her husband wants a divorce because he thinks he's gay, she sets about becoming her husband's perfect partner... a man.

Best of luck.

I agree with Richiev -- there is no reason to sympathize with the lead. I think changing the descriptor "Entitled Man-Child" might be a way of making him sound more 'likable'/ empathetic... and/ or, you could be more specific in how he actually finds himself in his predicament.

I agree with Richiev — there is no reason to sympathize with the lead. I think changing the descriptor “Entitled Man-Child” might be a way of making him sound more ‘likable’/ empathetic… and/ or, you could be more specific in how he actually finds himself in his predicament. At the moment, he comes across as selfish, immature, and his debt was incurred in an amoral way (what I get from ‘criminal debt’) — I’d want to see this guy fail (that could very well be your intention — I don’t know…)
Also — he comes up against no opposition in his quest to rob from his own family? With 10 or so words up your sleeve you have some room to present an antagonist, as well as present the plight of your lead in a better light by being more specific about his predicament.
Below is just an example — not supposed to be entirely reflective of your plot… obviously…
“A lazy door to door salesman attempts to hold up his Father?s restaurant to repay the debt he incurred to a vicious loan shark that paid for his father?s restaurant?s renovations.”

yep -- the North Tower around 1 hour 40, and the South Tower got hit 2nd... If you set it in the North Tower your MC could witness the South Tower collision and collapse and there would be a greater sense of urgency... remember - no one expected those buildings to collapse.

yep — the North Tower around 1 hour 40, and the South Tower got hit 2nd… If you set it in the North Tower your MC could witness the South Tower collision and collapse and there would be a greater sense of urgency… remember – no one expected those buildings to collapse. From what I’ve seen (in researching a project around the subject myself 😉 ) most people that got out did by way of a slow methodical march down the stairwells … Some fireman felt there was a chance of them collapsing, but not the general public — yes there was a sense of urgency, but there were a lot of people, and stairs were narrow and long.
…you could have him in the South Tower, her in the North — if he witnessed the North getting hit, then barely escapes the South before total collapse, then the stakes go through the roof in him getting to her in the North — He (and WE… yes, most people on the planet know the story of 9 11, but just pretending an audience member doesn’t…) knows the North will come down…
Just some ideas. I’d read it/ see it — it is a touchy subject, but there are already a number of films out there on it — I might be a biased cos I’ve been researching it for a different story.
Best of luck with it.
