I think that there was disparity between the scripts of the two male leads. Sam had the better, funnier and more crafted lines. Jesse's lines were generally rather trite. So Jesse's scenes were, as a consequence, not terribly gripping - but this was the fault of the writing not the actor.
The resolution to the dilemma was all too neat, easy and implausibly amicable in the end.
I rather enjoyed the scenes of Sam and his students and colleagues when he was wearing his heart on his sleeve, it was not one the least bit realistic but they were amusing and novel set ups and made me laugh a number of times.
