Maybe it's because I've met people like Nick but I enjoyed this. It's got some problems. For a start, it's written in TV format rather than screenplay and the dialogue reads like a sit-com. It gets by on charm and there's some nice lines. P.S. - You say it was written for your dissertation - how did you do?!
