FANTASTIC DAD (SPEC EPISODE FOR "CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM")
By Mariia Rudenko

GENRE: Comedy
LOGLINE:

To date his hot neighbour Tina, Larry lets her spoilt 30 year old son Max call him daddy, agrees to read his horrible screenplay, even accidentally helps to make a movie; all is ruined when a waitress exposes Larry’s real attitude to Max.


SYNOPSIS:

By mistake Larry’s groceries are delivered to his new neighbour Tina. To apologize for inconvenience, he invites her to a restaurant. They start dating, and it turns out that the hot neighbour comes with a package of a grownup parasite son, who’s never worked a day in his life, his big Hollywood ambitions, and a complete support from his mommy. Of course, Max calls Tina mommy. What’s worse, he starts calling Larry daddy and asking him to read his 300 pages memoir screenplay.

Having listened to Leon’s advice to go extra mile to ‘tap that ass”, Larry agrees to read the screenplay. The pages are so bad, Larry cries. Marcos (taqueria owner and a father of a talentless accidental actress Maria-Sofia from the previous episodes) happens to meet Larry in the middle of it. Marcos notices his tears and decides he cries because of the depth and uniqueness of the script. Marcos is a producer now. He begs Larry to give him that script. Larry hates Marcos. So of course, he says the screenplay is genius, and gladly shares it with the new producer.

Not only Marcos loves the script. He starts shooting a movie. He gives the female lead role to Maria-Sofia, involves just as tasteless director Les McCrabb, hires Susie Greene as a decorator and a costumes designer. He even persuades Cheryl and Ted Danson to play parts.

Ridiculously, everyone makes a hero out of Larry. Surely enough he doesn’t mind. Tina is so grateful she plans a romantic trip to lake Tahoe with him. And maybe they would even go, if not for Zina, a sneaky eavesdropping waitress and later Max’s girlfriend, who overhears Larry calling Max retarded and his screenplay a piece of crap. First, she blackmails Larry to get the main part in the movie, and then, when he fails to help her, exposes his big secret: Larry thinks you all stink!
