Adjustment Bureau: refreshingly old-school

I love titles that provide insights to the movie that you don't realize until the movie's over.  Even though it flirts with the ever elusive concept of fate, the premise of the movie is really about a bureacratic establishment intervening in our affairs.  And what's funny is the whole concept sounds ominous and odd, but really it's like "It's a Wonderful Life," less the "if I was never born" spin. Well, not exactly-- there was some major deus ex machina going on that ruined the illusion for me that was not a factor in Stewart's film-- but I'mma roll with it; it definitely felt like the 50's though: from the fedora hats to the way they referred to their bosses, Mr. Richardson and Mr. Thompson.
Verdict: Don't spend anything on it, but not a complete waste if you did (Netflix it)

Hall Pass: ineffective delivery

I'm not really sure who this was targeted to: the man or woman of the marriage.  I like to at least try to make some sense out of who this movie was supposed to speak to, becasue it surely wasn't me.  Though, to be fair: I don't think I was the intended demographic.  The overall theme of the film was "I love my marriage" after understanding the shortcomings of acting like a 20 something when you are nearly 40.  It's like a toned-down raunchy man movie mixed with soft womanly messaging, which made for a sub-par combo.  Note to the Farrelly brothers: you can't please everyone, so don't try.
Verdict: Don't pay additional money to see this (Netflix Queue)
