SHOTGUN WEDDING: HOW TO FALL FOR A GIRL
By Roscoe Plikerd
SYNOPSIS:
In 1990 rural Ohio, lovelorn roller-coaster attendant Mickey Dourke is still pining for the girl he nearly died for at Happy Acres Amusement Park four years earlier—until his bully brother (now his boss) goads him into one disastrous date with foul-mouthed, secretly pregnant Brenda Lumpkins. When Brenda’s violent family shows up hunting a groom, Mickey suddenly stars in a real-life shotgun wedding… right as his long-lost sweetheart returns to the park as the star of the daily “Shotgun Wedding” midway show..

Roscoe Plikerd This feels like a really fun and chaotic rom-com setup the mix of a literal shotgun wedding situation with a lost-love reunion creates strong comedic tension right away. The amusement park setting is a great touch too, it gives the story a playful, visual backdrop that fits the tone.
I like how the premise balances absurd humor with a genuine emotional core about reconnecting with “the one.” Feels like it could be both entertaining and heartfelt if the characters really land.
