Screenplay structure for a buddy love film

Wondering the best way to structure a screenplay for a buddy love film with two protagonist. They are paired together for a company trip and ending up coming friends through their adventure together. Any advice?

Am I right thinking this is a road trip movie?

I was actually on a structure course this weekend and we looked at Thelma and Louise but, I imagine you're talking more about two people who start off not getting along and bond over the course of the journey, is that right?

You could read scripts for Green Book, Sideways, Rain Man, Nebraska. They will give you some insight into how the dynamics and structure work.

Feel free to message me if you like and I can try to explain what I know and how I'd approach it.

Thanks Adam! This is a road trip movie where the adventure and challenges they face help them become friends. I will look into those movies. Thanks for the help!

No problem. Your idea also made me think of Up in the Air, you could always check that out too.
