The Adjustment Bureau, a sci-fi romance starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, tells the story of a political hotshot who meets a woman in the men's room—something that was not part of his destiny. Two "adjusters" explain he must not see her again—leaving the two, in love, racing to outrun or outwit them. Critics are largely positive:
- In the New York Times, Manohla Dargis calls the movie “a fast, sure film about finding and keeping love across time and space.” First-time director George Nolfi “has brightened the season with a witty mix of science-fiction metaphysics and old-fashioned fluttery romance.”
