There is so much in this movie that felt like it just happens. There's no if/therefore and nothing feels earned. A good plot, especially in a romantic comedy, needs a problem. Everything in this movie either feels like its gonna become something and never does or its some form of "uh oh this is gonna be something-oops nope its solved". It all just happens without any natural flow.
SPOILERS
There's no real explanation of Julia Roberts personality change. Her husband could've been a bigger problem but its not. No explanation for Tom Hanks becoming this "cool old guy" with the college students. There's no reason for anyone to have bettered themselves in Robert's class.
This whole movie happens and I'm wondering every 15 minutes whether or not there's like 10 minutes of deleted scenes explaining why things are happening. Nothing feels earned.
