synopsis/overview: A man running for Senate, David Norris ( Matt Damon ), comes across a beautiful dancer, Elise Sellas ( Emily Blunt ), and is instantly smitten by her. But the agents of Fate conspire to keep them apart to set them on their predetermined paths to success and worldwide fame. By sheer chance, David stumbles upon the agents as they do an "adjustment" on his life-long friend, Charlie Traynor ( Michael Kelly ). As they confide in him the work that they do, they give David a choice: Become the successful politician that they want him to be, but without Elise; or settle for a life of mediocrity with her.

audience reaction: The audience liked this Romantic Psycho Sci-Fi movie. And someone gave it a "Hands Clapper" ending.
recommendation: I liked it, too. But this is actually a "Chick Flick" that more than likely may appeal to those of you out there who are fans of the genre.
spoiler alert! Didn't he say that his tie was a clip-on? Why didn't Agent Harry Mitchell's ( Anthony Mackie ) "David playbook" show the hours when David was asleep so that Harry, himself, could get some "shut-eye", too? I detect a hint of racism here, implying that a black man will fall asleep on the job! Harry knew where the bus was headed, so why didn't he use the "short-cuts" to catch up to it? David is a famous bachelor politician courting a young woman out in broad daylight but there is not a single National Enquirer tabloid paparazzo dogging him around. Why do the agents read the newspaper for when they are the ones who manipulate current events and would logically know the next day's news beforehand? I guess that one agent of Fate didn't see that left cross coming! Damn them south-paws. So, they're saying that a human can knock-out a spirit entity with a simple punch? Ha, ha, ha. Wait a minute ... I thought a person has to be physically in contact with a hatted person to walk through the portal; but Elise went through two such portals without a hand on David ( if I observed the said scenes correctly ).
fyi: It is said that truly highly-advanced Yogis/Spiritually Enlightened Holy Men have no predetermined futures because they can change their fate at will.
word of advice: Love and Fate go hand-in-hand.
tidbits: After I got off work today, I headed straight for Oakland to visit Hector and his family. And his kitten, Tiger, was there waiting to pounce on me. I guess that he wanted to make a scratching post out of my left forearm, too!
Anyway, Hector told me that they've started letting tiger out of the house every now and then. And one thing that Tiger did right away was to go to the backyard where his pit-bull puppy play-buddy, Two-Face, is kept. But Two-Face's mother, Mercedes, is kept there, too. Mercedes, a cat-hater, cornered Tiger, the kitten, and was about to bite him when Tiger gave her a bloody nose! And Tiger isn't even three months old yet. Like I said before, Tiger is gonna own that neighborhood once he's full-grown. What a crazy kitten he is.
