Nah he's not a bad guy, he just wants her to settle down too young. She's not ready to buy a house and get married yet! She's only 23! He wants a traditional wife and that's just not her!
I KNOW! He's an upstanding sort and admirable, BUT he was looking to settle down young and with a very traditional wife because he's going to be A MOUNTIE and he needs someone who can pick up and move frequently without a career of her own.*
*Note: I have no idea whether this is true of mounties. I'm just trying to capitalize on the Canadian thing.
I know I'm very late but I wanted to add that the STBX keeps putting his hand on her belly and saying how excited he is for her to start building their very own hockey team, but she's not even sure she wants to have kids, and definitely not before she defends her PhD on Maple Syrup technology.
I feel like the ex-girlfriend makes an appearance somewhere.
Yes. Original Elizabeth Gallagher realizes the error of her ways and makes a last minute bid for his affections. But then he realizes that she's still a bitch. Played by... Rose Byrne.

I think we also need some helpful people in all of the cities they are traveling to to hint to Travel Buddy that this guy is her real true love until she realizes this once and for all on their flight back to Toronto. So we'll need to cast the following:
1) French bellhop 2) Czech bartender 3) Italian street artist 4) Indian tour guide 5) Thai cab driver

You also forgot the matronly bed & breakfast owner that pours tea with a knowing smile and grandmotherly advice.

But SURPRISE! It's the same actor. Sasha Baron Cohen.

I'm thinking Dax Shepard could play one of these dudes. Someone with an accent.
Bonus points if Kristen Bell is up for the part of Elizabeth.

This thread is amazing.
I think there needs to be somebody in Elizabeth's life who tells her not to go (other than STBX) for one reason or another. (BFF?) For instance, they think TB is creepy for whatever reason (eyes, picking a 23-year-old, etc). About halfway through the trip, over a phone call BFF talks about how they've "bonded" and "some things are meant to be" and "fate stepping in", preferably to keep her from making the big mistake of setting for STBX. Bonus points if she knows that STBX is thinking of proposing.

TB also rescues a small child from being hit by a car, and they end up invited to his older brother's wedding, where they dance and start to fall in love.

I could do this all day. I love this thread.
The wedding has potential. It could be his spunky grandmother who talks to Elizabeth and explains why she is better than Liz 1.0. Preferably after Liz 2.0 and TB nearly kiss while dancing, but are awkwardly interrupted.
I feel like the ex-girlfriend makes an appearance somewhere.
Ex decides that if she can't have him then no one can, and pursues them on a high-speed chase through Bangkok.
This won't be in the blockbuster rom-com, this will be in the nearly identical movie made my Universal Pictures and released at the same time. It will have a Vin Diesel cameo towards the end that gives a clue to the setting of the Fast & Furious 8.
