      I really want to like it, but it feels… well… cliche. You know, “Manic Pixie Dream Girl teaches Broodingly Soulful Man to embrace life.” Their professions seem to play into that cliche as well. Maybe you can switch their roles? It’s the businessman who teaches happiness to a barista who feels like a cog in the machine? I don’t know.

      Another possibility would be to flip genders here. Have it be a depressed business woman meeting a charming barista-guy at the local Starbucks.

      If you keep the MC as a man, you could defy audience expectations by having the wife actively fight for her husband, or by having the barista turn out to be engaged already? She may be everything he thinks he wants, but not really what he needs.

      Agreed!

      Also – there’s almost nothing less enticing to me than the thought of a movie about a character who begins to question something.

      I know this happens in just about every movie, but it’s usually something that happens in conjunction with a much more interesting story. What specifically is the character’s goal once he meets the barrista? Does he try to avoid her? Does he stop spending time with his wife to spend time with this new woman? Do they listen to the Shins together?
