So, Matt Damon is now middle-aged?  Who knew?  And by the way, what does that mean for me?  But I digress.

The Adjustment Bureau in a nutshell – Matt Damon plays a washed up politician who meets the the very charming and funny Emily Blunt.  Damon falls hard for the English lass,  but the keepers of fate decide it was never meant to be and try their best to keep the two apart.  Our man Matt’s not having it though and pursues his girl until the bittersweet end.

The story line is thin, but the chemistry of Damon and Blunt make this film work somehow.  Blunt belongs to the Lucille Ball, Debra Messing school of comedic heroine. Her timing is fresh and her beauty present but accessible.  Damon, once again, shows us that Boston charm that has allowed him to go far on very little.  This film is a medium-speed action adventure on foot.  Run Matt. Run.  It doesn’t strive for very much and for that reason succeeds in delivering something worth watching.

Nothing else to do? Yeah, why not.  Give it a go…
