I will say this for “The Adjustment Bureau”, it has an interesting story line and makes one think about the moments which delay us, hinder us and block us from our schedules and goals. Could it all be part of a grand design which intends for us to get to our destination according to the “Chairman’s” plan? We have case managers who “monitor” character’s activities. But then we have David Norris (Matt Damon) who falls in love with ballet dancer Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt) and despite what he learns from the adjustment bureau, that it is not in the grand scheme of things for him to wind up with Elise, his determination in finding a way to be with her becomes the springboard for the film and assures the audience of plenty of action and suspense. I will not plot spoil and tell you whether he is successful or not in changing the “Chairman’s” mind, but I can tell you that based on the content in the film we are unable to award our Dove “Family-Approved’ Seal to the movie as a family-friendly film. And that’s unfortunate as the film does contain a powerful message about love.

The movie is strong with language and crosses our acceptability level in the sex category as well. That is too bad. What could have been an entertaining film for the family falls short in the wholesome entertainment department.
