Firstly, this movie wasn't meant to be taken seriously as a historically accurate piece of work. Secondly, Einstein and his collegues were ancient, and had sort of been through the mill of intellectual inquiry.. By this time in life they were supposed to be slowing down, focusing on more trivial and conversely more important things in life, like friendship, family, the simple exhilleration of fun car rides, and appreciating love.. Things they didn't neccessarily focus on as much when they were having their greatest breakthroughs.
These men were hardly stupid, but had simply exhausted the parts of themselves that were *purely* intellectual. However, that's not to say they had given up on gaining knowledge, and theorizing, and testing hypotheses.. All of those aspects of their minds you see at work time and time again, only, for the application of helping Edward and making Catherine happy.
Take this into consideration, and I think you'll enjoy the movie a lot more.
