1. Matt Damon and Emily Blunt fall in love and flee shadowy figures in the immensely stylish romantic thriller The Adjustment Bureau. If only the ending lived up to the build-up.
2. Less a rumination on free will than a potboiler with some intellectual pretensions, The Adjustment Bureau is a pleasant enough middlebrow mind trip.
3. What conceivable conclusion could Nolfi give, lest to suggest that 'The Chairman' or God, has a heart of stone, and cynically doesn't believe in love or his own creation, Man.
4. Taken as a whole, if you allow yourself to take a leap of faith The Adjustment Bureau is an intriguing, engrossing experience. At the very least, it just might be the perfect date movie.
5. I can't imagine anyone's ever speaking about this movie with fondness other than the people who made it, and maybe their close relatives.
6. [An] atrociously trite conclusion threatens to ruin the entire film, but perhaps if we can just get a hold of the right Moleskine, we can make some adjustments, and it'll be like that ending never happened...
7. A refreshing, romantic sci-fi adventure whatsit the likes of which Hollywood rarely  gambles on.
8. The story has a real spiritual view, talking about the universe's plan as if it's a bureaucracy. It's only an intro course though. The advanced courses would be Total Recall, Dark City or Gattaca.
9. It's a little like if Men In Black was recast with an army of John Majors, and about as sexy as that sounds.
10. It taps into your longing for the days when a sci-fi matrix could explain the world without making it a darker place.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?
First-time writer/director George Nolfi struggles to maintain a consistent tone, but The Adjustment Bureau rises on the strong, believable chemistry of its stars.
