(It's just me, I guess, I'm too fastidious, but I can't stand scenes in bathrooms, especially romantic ones.) Then, it seems, her development doesn't matter so much when David's quest becomes the focus - although she's kind of quirky and impulsive on the bus when she wants to spill coffee on David.Richard Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12397053921647421425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5929352816561809263.post-88144758396518735982011-03-12T08:41:28.916-05:002011-03-12T08:41:28.916-05:00Nice analysis.

She dares herself to crash a wedding at the beginning, but that's the last we hear of her having much of any kind of rebellious spark. Beyond that, she's just an oddly Natalie Portmanesque dancing damsel for Damon's character to be in love with.<br /><br />At least the bureaucrats are well-dressed, but why are they all guys?

Again, this is not a monumental film, but I think it's worth seeing, especially for the cinematography.<br /><br />Thanks, J.D., hope you enjoy the movie. It's well worth seeing for its look.<br /><br />Roofing - Thanks for the comment. The film is a nice tribute to the tenacity of true love. You're right, Damon's character keeps running!Richard Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12397053921647421425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5929352816561809263.post-39670557234445626892011-03-07T11:03:23.603-05:002011-03-07T11:03:23.603-05:00Your excellent review has me really jazzed to see ...Your excellent review has me really jazzed to see this one. I like both Damon and Blunt and it sounds like they have really good chemistry together. From the trailers, I like the look of this film and to find out that John Toll is the cinematographer is icing on the cake.

There are lots of moviegoers in this old world, and different ways to approach story. He certainly worked hard to win, no question about that. He also did a LOT of running.Atlanta Roofinghttp://www.yelp.com/biz/atlanta-roofing-resources-atlantanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5929352816561809263.post-63585202410652295312011-03-06T23:29:03.571-05:002011-03-06T23:29:03.571-05:00"The chief strength of The Adjustment Bureau ..."The chief strength of The Adjustment Bureau is the chemistry between Damon and Emily Blunt, their touching portrayal of love-at-first-sight, and the film’s simplistic but poignant commentary about free will.

Your vital point above is precisely what I was expecting, and like you I'll take John Toll's work anyday. Interesting point comparing it to that earlier Hitch too.
