John Blumenthal (born 1949, Middletown, New York) is an American humorist best known for penning the screenplays for the action comedy films ''Short Time'' (1990) and ''Blue Streak'' (1999), the latter of which grossed $120 million at the worldwide box office. After an editorial stint at ''Esquire'' and a six-year term as an editor and writer for ''Playboy'' in the 1970s, he penned a number of satirical and comedic novels, notably ''What's Wrong with Dorfman'' and ''Millard Fillmore, Mon Amour''. Common themes in his work include hypochondria, neuroticism, and a wry dissection of romance and relationships. ==Early life, education== John Blumenthal was born in Middletown, New York in 1949. He developed an early interest in writing and has described his parents as “certifiable neurotics who unknowingly gave him most of his best material.”〔 He attended high school at The Gunnery in Washington, Connecticut where he founded, wrote, and edited the ''Gunnery Idiom'', a spoof of prep school customs and slang, graduating in 1967. He went on to graduate from Tufts University with a BA in English in 1971.〔 Writers he has named as influences include Kurt Vonnegut, Joseph Heller, Philip Roth, and John Irving.〔
