the adjustment bureau

matt damon isn't allowed to love a dull girl he met in the mens room. another movie based on a phillip k dick story (who wrote blade runner and just about every other science fiction movie in the past 25 years). when i saw the trailer on this one, i wasn't terribly enthusiastic. seemed this "bureau" that manages our affairs was fairly petty.

watching the development of the story during the movie itself, i was feeling pretty much the same; i kept internally screaming, "yeah, but WHY?" and when the "WHY" that these two dull people aren't allowed to be in love was totally not worth the wait.

wondering exactly how old matt damon's character was supposed to be, because it's said that his dad took him to see JFK in washington DC. let's assume he was about 10 years old then...so now, 50 years later, he still looks 40?

still, the movie was otherwise entertaining, and i wouldn't tell people NOT to see it.
