Film Pitch

Film idea:

Karate Kid with Top Trumps instead of Karate. 

Jonathan Meek arrives at a new town and is soon picked on by bullies, who embarrass him in a impromptu game of Top Trumps.

He soon becomes the victim of hassle from the bullies and turns to Leonard, a caretaker in his building who happens to know the ways of Top Trumps.

Soon, a bond is formed as Leonard gets his young student to do chores whilst learning the ways of the statistic-based card game. It boils down to a huge Top Trumps Tournament where Jonathan has to put his teachers methods into practice. Will he win the day or get trumped?

Sample scene

LEONARD

Jonathan, you must remember your training. You need to be the cards. Be the cards.

Jonathan nods in understanding and goes back to his game of Top Trumps where he immediately flops onto the table.

LEONARD 

Not literally, dickhead.
