The Adjustment Bureau is about Politician, David Norris, who meets a rebellious contemporary dancer named Elise. They instantly fall in love, but don't really ever see each other because they don't know how to find each other. However, soon he meets her again by chance and finds he is still in love with her. There are then mysterious circumstances keeping them apart. A group of people freeze time and take Norris away, revealing to him that he was not living life 'according to plan', and it was their job to adjust that. They tell him he can't see her anymore and that if he ever reveals them they will 'reset' him, but he refuses to give up. However, the Adjustment Bureau makes it nearly impossible for him to ever see her again.
I feel like the way I just explained that doesn't give it justice. It was a really good movie! Not my favorite, since I'm not a fan of the whole, "we just met, but we're in love!" type of thing in a story. However, I really enjoyed the originality of the idea and how they were able to keep it interesting. I've heard a few people say that it's just like Inception, but I didn't see the similarities. I'm not quite sure how to explain this movie. I guess it's one of those, "you have to see it" kind of movies.
It's rated PG13 for some sexual content and language (including the F-bomb). I would say you should be at least 14 to see this movie. Not necessarily because of inappropriate things, but because it seems like you need to be a little older to appreciate this movie.
Yes, it is worth seeing. Go see it!
We saw this too, I loved it! Like inception only in the fact that it had some originality to it which seems to be lacking these days, which is probably why I liked this one as much as I did.
