The situation grows out of control and he has to find a way out of it. The plot idea has merit and is a nice setup for comedy, conflict, and character transformation. The goal is clear.

a deeply rooted plot of revenge has merit, the script would benefit from more development. One of the major concerns about the plot is the structure, as well as identifying the true protagonist that drives the storyline. Initially it’s challenging to identify the true hero.
