We just saw the movie The Adjustment Bureau. It’s thoroughly dumb. I don’t really want to get into why, other than everything about it was just convenient and fudgey. It had some enjoyable elements, I suppose, and we didn’t expect all that much.
The most disappointing part was that it was essentially a nice romance movie with Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, who of course are both great, but this cheesy, vague Inception rip-off just kept butting in and blowing up its spot the whole time. It really was like two movies at once, in a bad way. And come on, what’s so great about a plot that, by design, limits the involvement of Emily Blunt?
