Description

Grow Up Beth is a mix between Bridget Jones's Diary and Hannah Horvath from Girls.

Grow Up Beth is very well-written, with developed characters, and a straight-forward structure that makes it very clear and easy to read, which is refreshing. While the script is technically well-written, my main concern is that it is a one-quadrant film, towards an older female market.

Also, the script so strongly resembles Bridget Jones's Diary that I do not currently see a place in the market for a film like Grow Up Beth. The script could be dramatically improved if more twists, original events, and dynamic character traits were included that would differentiate it from the Bridget Jones series and make it more approachable for a younger audience. Expanding the appeal to younger men and women would make the script more marketable.
