Q: What’s the movie about?

Q: Who’s in the movie?
A: Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Anthony Mackie, Terence Stamp, John Slattery, Michael Kelly, Anthony Ruivivar
Q: Is this movie worth the price of admission?
A:
Go! Not since Titanic has a film so successfully merged high action for the dudes with high romance for the ladies. And just for good measure, The Adjustment Bureau also throws in religious innuendo, to make sure there is no demographic left behind.Q: Will this movie make me laugh?
A: The humor is quirky and unexpected, and exists primarily to demonstrate why these two people are so strangely perfect for each other.
Q: Will this movie make me cry?
A: If the premise of this movie is true, and we really have no say over the direction of our lives, that would be enough to throw even the strongest of us into a good cry. Thankfully, we humans are too willful to ever choose to believe in the lack of free will. So who cares if we have it or not!
Q: Will this movie be up for any awards?
A: It's a good thing that Woody Allen has quit filming in New York, because this year would have been a big loss for him in the "I ♥ NY" category.
Q: How is the Acting?
A: I would be curious to know if Emily Blunt does her own dancing, because if she does, I'm very impressed. And if she doesn't, I'm still impressed by the seamless special effects that would've had to have been used to make it look so convincingly like she's doing it all herself in the full body shots.
Q: How is the Directing?
A: First time director, George Nolfi, shot 90 locations around New York in 60 days. If you know anything about film-making, you too are inwardly saying, "Wow."
Q: How is the story/script?
A: It all holds together, except for one annoyingly unexplained Hollywood moment in the end. It's slight, and can be easily over-looked, if you accept what comes immediately after it.
Q: Is there anything else worth mentioning about the movie?
A: This is the kind of film that will be remade in 20 years. See it now, so that when the new version comes out, staring some "it" kid who's not even born yet, you can talk about how great the original was, and how they shouldn't even try to live up to it.
Q: Where can I see the trailer?
A: The Adjustment Bureau Trailer
