Movies to watch: The Adjustment Bureau

Riveting, Smart, simple, clean, and interesting!!

I loved this movie, Yes, it has two great actors but the plot was simple and to the point. The thing I loved most about this movie was the story behind the story, it's about free will. Our free will allows us to choose what obstacles and people we encounter on our day to day lives. In the story they talk about this alot how our free will is given to us but many of times certain obstacles happen such as dropping coffee on your pants on your way to work (Matt Damon's character of course experienced this mishap) and others like missing a bus, train, getting stuck in traffic.. etc.. Well when these "mishaps" happen it turns out it's "fate" steering you back on to the course you were supposed to be in.

It all ravels down to the whole, our lives are already written out for us. And with some explaining throughout the movie, these people who are not angels, or guardians, but life setters in a way follow the two main characters and make sure they stay on course.

The movie is very easy to follow, the story line is very simple. Yes, it's a romantic drama, it's not over powered by naked bodies, or gross sexual scenes that more on the lines exploit the actors than bring something to the story. Matt Damon is attractive and brings nothing less to his character as a believable politician that is trying to find the piece that he is missing to feel complete. Emily Blunt is beautiful, charming, and witty in this film. The romance between the two is very apparent and they showed great chemistry. She plays a ballerina who is torn between the life that she leads and the great achievements and success that await her for the man that she loves and feels most complete with.

At the end, it's nothing but happy endings for both characters, but the ride they take to get there, leaves you wondering what will happened in the last 3minutes of the film.

After leaving the theater you can't help but think if this could ever exist, or if it doesn't already. It seems as though sometimes we hold ourselves back and the story of the movie was to continue with your dreams, and fight for you want, no matter what obstacles may arise.


My critic choice is "Must See", don't wait for the DVD go out and be inspired.
