Rom-Com Screenplay

Title: “Rehabili-Cation”

Logline: A hardworking couple in desperate need of a romantic vacation, scheme to pose as a sex addict, and pothead so that they may attend a beautiful subsidized rehab facility, for an affordable long summer vacation, what could go wrong…everything!

Synopsis: “Rehabili-Cation” antecedents include “Couples Retreat” and “Wanderlust.” The story is about a highly relatable, attractive couple, in their mid to late 30s, in desperate need of a romantic extended vacation. The wife, Cindie, is a high school drama teacher like myself. She decides that she should pose as a pothead, and her law enforcement husband as a sex addict, in order to enroll in a subsidized rehab facility, for an affordable summer vacation. Of course it won’t be easy getting in, Cindie will have to actually start smoking pot to fail a drug test. She will also have to trust her in-laws to babysit the boys all summer, while they claim to be feeding orphans on a mission trip. Of course the real mayhem ensues when they arrive at the facility, and all is not like the brochure. The couple will face insurmountable obstacles standing in their way, such as bizarre and inappropriate staff, patients and owner, early morning wake up calls, curfews, work duty, mandatory church and group counselling, gardening, blackmail, separate living arrangements, and temptations of the flesh! Since they can’t return to work without completing their programs, and their stay is nonrefundable, they can’t leave. The vacation that was to bring this couple closer together just might tear them apart, unless they can learn to work together. One couple, one dream, one scheme…what could go wrong, everything!
