Next they head to the Chicago Museum of Art, near where Sarah grew up, and one of the museum guards opens up one of the paintings for them to go inside. But instead of saying it back, she dumps him for a college freshman. Before their performance, he tells his girlfriend that he loves her. Present David, who’s embodying High School David, plays the lead in the school play. Next stop is David’s high school, except 20 years ago, during a pivotal moment his senior year. The GPS first brings them to a lighthouse museum that is, in itself, a lighthouse, and as the two watch the sun set at the top of the lighthouse, they realize that they kind of like each other. The GPS drives David to the nearest Burger King where, low and behold, he sees Sarah! The two enjoy a couple of whoppers and then David asks Sarah if she would like to join him on a big bold beautiful journey. The next morning, when David is about to drive home, his GPS asks him if he would like to go on a “big bold beautiful journey.” David’s a little creeped out that his GPS is talking to him but sure, why not. At the end of the night, she couples up with one of the groomsmen so I guess that answers that. Sarah has developed a very tough exterior as a means to protect herself, making it hard for David to figure out if she likes him or not. At the wedding, David runs into Sarah, also in her 30s, and the two strike up a conversation.

Ahh yes, you know what I’m talking about fellow readers – that irritating slushy sand that so many aspiring quirky screenwriters have drowned in. But it also sounds to me like it could get stuck in quirksand. That sounds to me like something Hollywood would love. Today’s script has 500 Days of Summer like aspirations, mixed with some song and dance numbers, a la La La Land. There is a caveat on that one though, which is that Reiss wrote it with another writer (Will Tracy). But I’m more interested in his last feature screenplay, which was one of my favorites of last year, The Menu. It comes from Seth Reiss, who wrote for the Seth Meyers show. Premise: After both attending the same wedding solo, David and Sarah embark on a big, bold, beautiful journey with a little help from their 1996 Passat GPS and a little bit of magic for the road trip of their lives.Ībout: This script finished with 14 votes on last year’s Black List, putting it in the vaunted Top 20. Today’s script is 500 Days of Summer meets La La Land meets Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind meets A Christmas Carol
