Dramatic comedies are a dime a dozen nowadays, and when initially reading the synopsis of “The Skeleton Twins” it appeared to be the same as every other one released. It’s certainly a tale that’s been told before on numerous occasions and one could find themselves picking the film apart practically beat by beat. These statements began to shadow doubt and raise questions about its choice as the recipient of the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival when I walked into the theater for the screening of this SNL-alum led dramedy. Walking out, I found myself reevaluating the amount of attention I bring to execution of material, rather than the core originality of the material itself.
