Petition Addressing the Texas Judicial System Requests Support through Tim Allen’s “Dumbass”
Will Hollywood be a Reason for Change in the Injustice against Men and Women Prisoners?
Tim Allen – 19th March 2021 – An upcoming movie depicting the injustice that men and women had to endure in the state penitentiaries in Texas has been inundated with calls from more than 2000 women urging the production company owned by Hollywood actor, producer and director Tim Allen and Adam Sandler, to stick to the real issues behind the Texas Judicial system. A petition was signed by many people that include attorneys, university professors, politicians and family members of the many men and women that are suffering in the state penitentiaries. The idea behind the petition is for the Tim Allen production company and Hollywood to stick to the true story about the injustices happening in the state run prisons. It is said that the state has sent more inmates to prison than during the Soviet Union did during their political uprising.
PREMISE: Adam Sandler writes letters and saves numerous women from the monotony of prison life, and later when he gets into trouble with a drug cartel they return the favor by rescuing him.
SETTING: Contemporary, Gatesville Texas. There are four women’s prisons located in Gatesville. And of course, Texas is famous for putting everyone in prison for a long time for little or no reason. The number of women in Texas prisons has doubled in the last ten years. Why don’t we have the “Adam Sandler” character… sending letters to women in prison and being their friend and trying to help them adjust, giving them hope… and when they get out of prison he picks them up so they don’t have to ride the smelly bus back home… but his pickup truck is a junker, smoking and sputtering … worse than the bus. But his heart is in the right place… He’s the last “chivalrous” man on earth.
It is said in the petition that many of the signatories were left distraught to find that many of the first time offenders for violations such as drug peddling have received disproportionate sentences. While some argue that a lenient sentence like rehabilitation would have proven much more inexpensive and an effective solution in tackling this gross miscarriage of justice. The petition was discovered by the women when the screenplay of the movie was donated to all the 580 prisons run by private organizations funded by the state government. It is much more difficult for women who are given much harsher penalties for a violation such as carrying small amount of drugs like Marijuana which coincidentally is legal in 21 states.

About Tim Allen’s “Dumbass” Movie
The movie “Dumbass” revolves around the protagonist writing letters to prison inmates to keep their spirits high during their time in prison; only for them to help the main character who gets into trouble with a drug cartel and saving him at the end. The petition urges the production company, Tim Allen and Adam Sandler to take this issue seriously due to the hardships faced by women inside prison rather than making light of the situation for their own profits.

MECHANIC
I could’ve had it done an hour ago.
Tim Allen – Hey, bud, you finish the old lady’s car?
JACK
[17:36] Joan is packing and leaving her cat with Gloria. Gloria is trying to talk her out of going and makes a big point out of how hapless and hopeless Joan is in the real world (set up for CHARACTER ARC). She says, “You’re not up for this, Joan, and you know it.” (See what I mean about just saying it aloud?)
Tim Allen – It’s Elaine calling, in a classic and blatant CALL TO ADVENTURE: she’s been kidnapped and needs Joan to fly to Cartagena and bring the treasure map that Elaine’s dead husband sent to Joan (in that envelope that she had with her, meaning Zolo couldn’t find it in the apartment. The treasure map and the emerald it leads to is the MACGUFFIN: the object that everyone wants). Ira is holding a knife on Elaine, and Elaine says “They’ll cut me, Joan… they’ll hurt me.”) Big STAKES: Joan’s sister will die like her husband if Joan doesn’t go to Cartagena to ransom her.
[15:40] Joan comes back to her apartment and finds it ransacked. Suspense scene — because she should not be walking through that apartment — and classic FALSE SCARE: the cat jumps down on her from the top of the refrigerator. Then another FALSE SCARE: the phone ringing right beside her. All total manipulation, but storytellers do it because it works.
Within this sequence we meet one set of antagonists: Elaine’s kidnappers, Ira and Ralph. They are classic comic characters, one tall and thin, one short and round (a SIGHT GAG — comedy loves contrasts like this). They are city boys from Queens who are fish out of water in this South American country (the fish out of water is another classic comedy element). Ira is suave but crazy (that obsession with the gators — SET UP and RUNNING GAG: “Look at those choppers!”); Ralph is neurotic but actually the more sensible of the two; he knows this whole venture is ill-advised. Again, we don’t have to really worry about Elaine being held captive by these guys, which keeps the tone comic. We learn from a line from Ralph that the two have made a fortune in antiquities. Also the male cousins mirror the sisters; you often find this kind of TWINNING and MIRRORING in comedy and romantic comedy.
