Screwball Comedy includes:
1. Mistaken identities or misunderstandings
2. Secrets
3. Male characters cross-dressing, further contributing to the misunderstandings
4. A romantic story, usually in which the couple seem mismatched and even hostile to each other at first. (Often this mismatch comes about because the man is much further down the economic scale than the woman--but yours can include two unlikely people from different majors/teen groups/etc.
