The Adjustment Bureau poses the question: if you found out that God existed, would your first move be to hustle off and have premarital sex?

OK, that's not quite right. The Adjustment Bureau IGNORES that question and is more focused on what would you do for love. Early on the film informs us that there are angels amongst us who do things to keep order, more importantly, THE order as determined by "The Chairman" and the film is about a man who finds out about their existence but doesn't want to follow their order. And it's not a huge stumbling block for me but I just couldn't shake the fact that Matt Damon's character discovers the answer to one of the great mysteries of life and he's just like, "Great, now about the girl." I mean, it doesn't even register with him. It's a non-issue.

Anyway, Adjustment Bureau is a solid albeit forgettable film that is really carried by its light tone and the performances by Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. Instead of being a ultra-serious Bourne type film, the movie never takes itself to seriously and there's almost a jovial feel to it. The writing also helped this as the jokes were more self-effacing human asides rather that witty Ocean's 11 type one liners.

Matt Damon did his typical quality work but Emily Blunt really shined and reminded me that she really is one of the great young talents out there. The two actors had great chemistry and their performances in the little moments made you believe in their relationship. It's the kind of quality acting that gets ignored because it doesn't feel at all like acting.

It's hard to describe this movie in terms of what it's like. Nothing is really jumping out at me. Maybe The Thomas Crowne Affair. It seems like a good date movie because it has enough lovey-dovey stuff to woo the ladies but enough action and intrigue for the guys. Since, you know, girls only love schmaltz and guys can't watch anything that doesn't have a chase scene in it. Anyway, it's a solid movie that isn't quite a Can't Miss Flick but is something I'd say people should definitely add to your Netflix queue and check out when they have the time.
