The Roommate-Jake Lepore


Jeremy is in need of a roommate, and after he is told no from a friend he is given the number of Justin, a complete stranger. Excited, Jeremy calls the number and the two decide that they are going to meet the next day to get to know each other. Justin doesn't get that and moves in  along with his cat Mary Jane. Once Justin moves in Jeremy realizes that the two roommates are the complete polar opposite, Jeremy likes to be neat, tidy and punctual. While Justin is lazy, unkempt and a mess. On the first day Mary Jane goes missing, once she is found Justin irrationally blames Jeremy. He now realizes that allowing this stranger to live with him might be a problem. The next day the smoke settles and Justin apologizes to Jeremy, he explains why the cat matters so much to him. Jeremy starts to believe that he might be able to live with this random guy, but moments later that changes when Mary Jane goes “missing” again. The two start to look for the cat once again, and once they can’t find her the two begin to yell back and forth. Jeremy finally puts his foot down and tell Justin that he needs to leave. Like the last time Mary Jane is found in a incriminating position which causes the two fight, then Justin decided to leave. The next day Jeremy comes home to find that Justin had left early. Relieved Jeremy soon finds out why Mary Jane went missing and why Justin decided to move in the day they meet. In the span of three days Jeremy was able to see what happens when you show too much hospitality to someone you just met. This story has things that everyone can love, conflict, drama and cats.

  1. You did a great job completing your intention of keeping the amount of characters in your screenplay to a minimum. It's basically just Justin, Jeremy, MOM like once, and the new roommate for 2 lines which makes all the dialogue important and not fluff.

  3. I liked how your dialogue was very realistic, you did not sugar coat any conversation: this is how 2 boys would talk to eachother. This was also really funny and I liked the minimal characters.

  6. I liked how this script was very relatable and realistic. Often you hear horror stories of people trying to find roommates so this was a good plot line trying to capture that struggle. You also did a really good job of developing the characters personalities throughout their dialogue and actions.
