The Adjustment Bureau

Hmmm, this movie is a romantic thriller. Apparently. I just don't buy that a man will yearn and wait (for years) for a woman he happened to meet in a men's room. Granted, men are very often taken in by opinionated, spunky women, not realizing that the very same attributes will get on their nerves after the honeymoon ends.

Anyway, this has a very odd story that was adapted from a book. There are a group of men (likened to Angels) who wear hats and govern people, their emotions, decisions and the paths that their lives take. There is even someone who is called The Chairman (likened to God) who has the ultimate authority over human lives. I'm not sure if it includes other life forms. Or perhaps, only those with the 6th sense need some governing.

Matt Damon plays a politician who has a promising career that could lead him to the White House. He meets a woman (Emily Blunt) and falls in love with her. But, the men in hats don't approve and try to persuade him to give her up. Don't worry. True love will prevail.
Ok, I didn't enjoy this movie. I think Angels have better things to do than handcuff a man who is adamant to meet some woman. After all, life on earth flourishes due to procreation and higher beings cannot object to that.
