When it comes to feedback on our screenplays it's a necessary evil. We all finish a script and want the people we show it to for initial criticism to love it. I
Not like it. Love it.
"It's perfect. Don't change a word. It's ready to go."
Of course, it never happens like that. No matter how good it is, if you have the right people reading it, they'll find problems. Maybe not big ones. But little ones like scenes that go on too long or that page with too many stage directions or that scene you thought was so funny that isn't or that character you introduced early on and forfot about. Maybe they'll find tiny pronlems like scenes you cut and pasted twice or sentences with key words misspelled or left out and, of course, typos.
What we all need in our writing lives are one or two (three if you're lucky) people who care enough about you and your script to take the time to help you make your script better.
I've touched on this before, but I can't emphasize enough how important it is.
