- More cleavage on the girl. - The guy's jokes aren't funny. Are they supposed to be? Or are we going for awkward? - How many sisters does she have? Three? Four? I'm confused. - The whole bit about her ex-boyfriend doesn't really go anywhere. Lose it. - Italian restaurant is cliché. If we go Italian, make it red-checkered tablecloths and annoying guys singing, etc. Let's make it something more exciting, something with the opportunity for conflict. Karaoke? Bowling? Something. - How many times does she go to the bathroom? It gets redundant. - The story he tells about cow-tipping upstate is dumb. Lose it. - The waiter is almost non-existant. Spice up his character more. Maybe he's clumsy and spills something on his pants. That could be funny. Give him a thicker accent too, it may provide some opportune confusion. Or lose the whole restaurant. - The guy is fidgety. The girl is annoying. I'm not really sure I like either one of them. Not much chemistry. Needs work. - The whole second act kind of stretches thin. - The guy who proposed to her in her story -- is that the same ex-boyfriend who went stalky? It's confusing, and it sounds very sitcom-y. Combine these characters, or lose them. - When they get drunk, they're REALLY annoying. She gets talky and sappy, he gets obnoxious. Make them get goofy, funny, drunk, and maybe a little "randy." Think more "Sex & the City" and less "Leaving Las Vegas." - Why doesn't this end in sex? Where's the resolution?
