UNPREDICTABLE - feature
UNPREDICTABLE is a screwball comedy feature screenplay written by Allison Beda and Eileen Cook (based on the novel "Unpredictable" written by Eileen Cook).
Sophie Kintock isn't crazy, she just wants her guy back. And posing as a psychic to give his new girlfriend a fake reading designed to break them up isn't going overboard, is it? Don't answer that.
Faking psychic powers turns out to be easier than Sophie planned and way more fun, especially after a few lessons from Nic, the cute skeptic, who knows all the tricks of the trade. But Sophie’s readings do a lot more than she could have predicted, and soon Sophie needs to figure out whether the answers lie in the stars-or in herself.
