COME ON EILEEN -
After her nervous breakdown goes viral a 37 year old woman ends her long term toxic relationship and leaps into a series of dating adventures in search of the exciting and passionate love life of her dreams
>>>There was a movie in the 80?s called ?Nina takes a lover?
Okay, but ?"Nina" is the story of a married woman's ?fling with a specific lover, not someone playing the field, randomly "Looking for Mr. Goodbar".
"Looking for Mr. Goodbar" (1977) is the movie that came to mind after reading this logline. ?And it's a favorite because the promiscuous sex life of the protagonist is not dangled as voyeuristic bait, gratuitous titillation for the audience. ?It's an edgy and ?insightful portrayal of ?emotional masochism.
It's on my list of movies to write a logline for as practice, and it's a tough one. ? But then "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" was adapted from ?a best-selling book. ? The success of the book sold the movie project-- not a logline.
There was a movie in the 80's called "Nina takes a lover" about a dissatisfied housewife who... you know, takes a lover. So I believe there is room here for an interesting story.
However you should give us a more compelling inciting incident to hook the readers of this logline.
