I walked into this film not really knowing what to expect, but what I found I enjoyed. The movie is not your traditional one on the surface but at its core is a love story. The story centers around our hero David Norris (Matt Damon), who stumbles upon a "readjustment" where his colleagues' minds are being nudged a bit so that they follow the "plan." What Norris has found is that these creatures (who all wear hats - watch the movie to get that one) guide humans thoughout history under the direction of "The Chairman." Much to the dismay of Norris, he learns that the woman he has fallen for, Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt), is not part of his plan. The Adjustment Bureau steps in to keep them apart, yet they keep running in to each other.
It is your traditional "boy meets girl, girl gets chased by police, boy finds girl then finds reality altering creatures in the board room, boy finds girl again, boy breaks up with girl, girl is going to marry another guy, boy breaks up wedding to take girl to The Adjustment Bureau" story. Pretty much a standard tale, but a fun one to watch.
I would recommend this if you have a quiet night without anything else to do. You can wait for it on DVD, but I think it will lose something on the small screen.
