    • Trivia
      The phone number given to Matt Damon by Emily Blunt in the movie ((212) 664-7665) is owned by Universal Studios and has appeared in other films distributed by the company (Definitely, Maybe (2008), Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) and Munich (2005)) in an effort to avoid the much overused "555" prefix. If called, it will ring indefinitely. As of 10/1/2022, the number is out of service.
    • Goofs
      The newspaper that reports Elise's dance career and engagement repeats the same paragraphs several times, taking up space in order to fill the article.
    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      Harry Mitchell: Most people live life on the path we set for them, too afraid to explore any other. But once in a while people like you come along who knock down all the obstacles we put in your way. People who realize freewill is a gift that you'll never know how to use until you fight for it. I think that's the chairman's real plan. That maybe one day, we won't write the plan, you will.

    An intelligent romantic film with a sci-fi twist
    This film is about a successful politician who has to choose between the woman of his dreams and his career, when he meets a team of messengers who control fate.

    "The Adjustment Bureau" is certainly a different romantic film. The plot is an engaging and refreshing mix of romance and science fiction. The thrill and excitement of the science fiction part is well maintained throughout the film, while the romance part melts viewers hearts. Matt Damon and Emily Blunt are so convincing together, making their romance very believable. Once again, Emily Blunt puts on a particularly stellar performance, showing her impressive range of acting skills and on screen charm.

    "The Adjustment Bureau" is a good film as it is a refreshing departure from mundane and formulaic romantic comedies. It deserves 100 minutes of your time.
