Found the script online, had a quick read of it as I’ve already seen the film, they cut a little bit out in the film which would’ve been a lot more fun to add actually.
Still love the line “you should like talk to it even though it can’t hear you

I think the movie is very well done and addresses a lot of topics that aren't typically brought up. However, at times I thought the script focused too much on telling you how the characters were feeling exactly, and I think if it's well written enough you don't need to do that. The actors can make their own decisions based on how they understand the characters and how they were written and their emotions on that should be clear. This was just a personal opinion based on what I learned about screenwriting and could have just been with the edition of the script I had. I just thought at times it overexplained and was unnecessary. I think it's still very funny and a nice story overall.

I adored this movie and this script was *chefs kiss* 

Ppl saying “it spent too much time talking about how the characters should feel” have clearly never read a script or play write before. It’s there for a purpose and honestly elevates the experience.

Had forgotten how good this movie is. Am surprised I don't own it. Really want to watch it again after reading this screenplay. I like to read screenplays as it is probably the best way to gain skill in writing them. I haven't worked on any for a while but want to get back into it and thought the best way would be to get into reading them again. I picked a good one to start with too - great dialogue and a fast moving plot about everyday people. Looking forward to reading some more and maybe writing more soon! Will have to check out some other movies written by Diablo Cody as well.
