Constructive criticism?
I have a friend who has spent almost a year writing a screenplay.
She's asked me to critique it. It's supposed to be a farce about Silicon Valley. (Think Brazil meets Ally McBeal meets Pirates of Silicon Valley).
I've read the synopsis, and based on that, I'm worried that I'm going to think it, well, stinks.
On the one hand, I want to give honest, useful criticism. On the other, I don't want to crush her hopes unduly. After all, a number of movies that sounded bad initially (I thought I would hate Ghostbusters), I've actually liked.
How does one give gracious, useful criticism?
