How could this story be told better?

The subject matter is really good, the old and the young, the male and the female, De Niro and Hathaway, I'm so happy to see the poster, it's not destined to be ugly.
But how can it look better?
Let’s talk about a few things that I don’t think are very good-looking or a little strange:
1. Hathaway’s male assistant, who feels like the second-in-command of the company (the gay honey who plays the protagonist in Girls) has taken up a lot of scenes before, Then it disappeared completely. In addition to the protagonist, a good movie should also have solid supporting roles, slightly higher than other supporting roles.
2. The plot of stealing the computer. I always thought that Hathaway and her mother's roles would be strengthened in the future, but I didn't expect it to be gone. Another episode of stealing a computer is forced, although it is very funny, but where is the point?
3. After Hathaway's husband cheated, after some heart-to-heart talk, the final result was that her husband got lost and returned to save the finale.
In short, a movie starts out pretty good, and then it has small ups and downs, no big ups and downs and deep understanding.
It would be great if this film focused on cross-generational communication, young and old from not understanding, disliking, distrusting each other, to learning from each other and growing together. The old learned new knowledge, gained new vitality, met a new lover, understood his mother less, overcame the difficulties of her husband cheating, strengthened her career, divorced, and had hope for a new relationship. Wouldn't it look better? Or more old-fashioned?

In the end, De Niro advised Hathaway that you should never think that your husband's derailment is the retribution of your career efforts. Hathaway said he will definitely remarry soon, and I will only be single for the rest of my life, and I don't want to be buried alone in a single cemetery.
I feel a lot about this, hey, this is a nightmare and reality for many women.

    Robert De Niro's charm is not lost in the past... Compared with a group of small hairs, he is really handsome! In the movie, he said that he had a 42-year marriage. He met his wife at the age of 18 and fell in love. The scene of him standing behind a curtain and shooting in the godfather automatically came up in my mind. At 18, did you meet your wife as a gangster? ……ha ha aha

    Pseudo-feminist film masterpiece: just find a more mature male mentor.
