Respectfully noted.?? We all respond differently.? I think the emotional and thematic "juice" exists in the Act 3, in the resolution of the "B"? (relationship) story.? But that is beyond the scope of a logline.
In crafting loglines for movies based upon scripts by others, I am sometimes torn between a logline that reflects how I wish the plot had been framed and how I perceive the plot was actually framed.

"Never makes time..." is an interesting word choice.? Ultimately, characters in reel life and real life have to own their choices.? And the Tom Hanks character is very proactive in his job, a gung-ho, high energy leader of others.? But it is often the case that initially characters cave into the expectations of others, or the demand of their jobs.? That's the choice they make, but they rationalize that they had no choice.

I love how he never had time but now has all the time in the world to..
Also, couldn't be more succinct with the inciting incident and his objective goal. Truly a great job with this!
