Synopsis:
Jim Phillips is 19 years old, unemployed and a party goer. With no aim in life he makes through each day playing games and going out drinking with mates. All this is broken however when he receives a phone call from a solicitor claiming his Uncle Norman has left his brother Craig £5 million and to tell the "lazy" brother how he doesn't get any.
Jim decides to impersonate Craig and claim the £5 million for himself, going to the solicitors giving his details and aquiring the whole amount with no questions asked. After getting the whole amount into his bank account, he travels to Amsterdam with a group of his best friends and they spend the money there, getting into all sorts of trouble like getting put into jail and meeting all types of people.
Craig finds out about Jim stealing his money and travels to Amsterdam himself to confront him, however when he gets there he learns that there's no money left and they both go back home, with Jim deciding to work hard to get a taste of the rich life again.

Suggested Elements:
The film is a comedy and one of the suggested elements is humour, however we intend to incorporate some drama into the film. When Jim goes to Amsterdam, there will be some scenes of him using drugs, as although seen as illegal in the UK it is legal there.
Another element which will be in the film will be how the main character is impersonating a person and how the brother gets caught up in it due to his antics.
Friendship will also be an element in the film, as he travels to Amsterdam with his friends and spends the money with them.
