Critics largely praise the Matt Damon-led Philip K. Dick adaptation, with one calling it 'a brisk and affecting slice of sci-fi.'

Emily Blunt the garden gnome squares off against Emily Blunt the ballerina at the box office this weekend. Her toe-tapping dancer in "The Adjustment Bureau," which opened on Friday (March 4), will handily beat her animated statue from "Gnomeo & Juliet," a cinematic holdover from last month.
"Adjustment Bureau" stars Matt Damon as a one-time Senate front-runner who falls in love with Blunt's ballerina on the night he loses the election. One twist of fate later, Damon finds out that there are supernatural forces — slickly dressed "adjusters," played by the likes of John Slattery and Anthony Mackie — controlling everyone's lives and conspiring to keep him away from Blunt. That doesn't sit so well with Damon, who sets about fighting against these forces in an effort to keep his romance alive.
The movie blends sci-fi and romantic drama into a hybrid piece of entertainment that has won over the majority of critics. Check out what everyone has to say about "The Adjustment Bureau."
The Influences
" 'The Adjustment Bureau,' an enormously entertaining speculative thriller starring Matt Damon, would earn its kudos for ambition alone. An adaptation of a Philip K. Dick story, this is a movie of myriad genres and tonal gradations, including classic science fiction in the tradition of 'Blade Runner' and 'The Matrix' and the doomed romance of 'An Affair to Remember.' Throw in the conspiratorial intrigue of 'The Manchurian Candidate' — and a first-time director to keep it all straight — and the singular achievement of 'The Adjustment Bureau' becomes all the more impressive.' — Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post
The Thrills
" 'The Adjustment Bureau' is the thriller as glorified philosophical videogame, with David dashing through doors that are like looking-glass passageways, trying to wrench his destiny away from the forces that claim he has no free will. In many ways, this is a dated and rather gimmicky movie. Yet it's directed (by 'The Bourne Ultimatum''s co-screenwriter George Nolfi) with a wide-eyed spirit. It taps into your longing for the days when a sci-fi matrix could explain the world without making it a darker place." — Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
The Performances
Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, together onscreen, make all sorts of sense; his compact concentration and fire-plug solidity contrast well with her gangly physicality and spirit of mischief, sexual and otherwise. ... 'The Adjustment Bureau' has the guts to play its central romance for genuine romantic feeling — and in the tasty byplay between Damon and Blunt, who seem to enjoy each other." — Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
The Dissenters
"The plot of 'The Adjustment Bureau' unfolds without rhyme or reason, with characters who behave in inexplicable ways just because. (Why, exactly, does one of the adjusters, played by Anthony Mackie, suddenly take a sympathetic interest in David's plight?) Damon and Blunt lack the onscreen chemistry to make you care much about their fate. Damon only seems plugged into the movie when he's running around and making like Jason Bourne, while Blunt does too good a job of portraying her character's strong, confident personality in her early scenes, only to retreat into wilting-violet mode in the movie's second half, as the script requires." — Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
The Final Word
Possessing great visual style, clever writing and the undeniable star presence of Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, 'The Adjustment Bureau' is a brisk and affecting slice of sci-fi that allows room for optimism and even God. ... [The] movie spins off from what might be a prompt in a philosophy college class, and while it might not get much deeper than that, it's consistently entertaining and thought-provoking. An attempt at a climactic third-act chase feels forced, especially in contrast to the gentle and almost hushed tone of what came before it, but the film's earnest emotions and sure sense of itself remain captivating even through the mildly out-there finale." — Katey Rich, Cinema Blend

'Idol' puts up biggest non-sports Thursday ratings numbers since 2007.

Simon who? Perhaps putting to rest any fears that "American Idol" would nosedive without iconic judge Simon Cowell, Thursday night's first elimination episode of season 10 put up some stellar numbers for the singing competition.
On a night when most of the competition on rival networks consisted of reruns (including, count 'em, six episodes in a row of "The Office" on NBC!) after the vaults were emptied last month during sweeps, "Idol" raked in 25 million viewers to win the ratings crown. In fact, the impressive numbers for "Idol" gave Fox the most-watched non-sports Thursday night number of any network over the past four years.
The two-hour extravaganza, which not only shaped the top 10, but also featured six performances by singers vying to score three wild card spots — not to mention the debut of judge Jennifer Lopez's "On the Floor" music video — was a 29 percent increase from last season's first elimination night, according to Billboard.
With an 8.1 rating in the 18 to 49 demo, numbers were also up 13 percent over last Thursday's "AI" episode. As you might expect, ratings climbed during the pivotal final half-hour of the broadcast, going from 25.96 million between 9 and 9:30 p.m. to 26.66 million for the final half-hour.
The good ratings news bodes well for the start of live competition next week, when new judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez will have to finally show their stuff during two real-time broadcasts a week after charming viewers during the season's pre-taped episodes.

Camille Grammer is on record as wishing ex-husband Kelsey and his new bride, Kayte Walsh, the very best of luck.
But Lisa Vanderpump - being a loyal, close friend who isn't exploiting her co-star's pain for attention in any way - has come out and said this is basically a lie. Camille was crushed when Kelsey and Walsh tied the knot last week.
"She was very upset," Lisa told E! News. "It's public, it's humiliating, and she's very vulnerable. It's very upsetting."
But will Grammer return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?!?
"I can't say definitely, because it's been tricky the past few weeks with a lot of feelings running high with what went down with Camille and her divorce," Vanderpump said. "My perception is that it worked so if it's not broken why fix it? We would like it to stay the same but we're still working it out."

Insiders say film could get nominated in documentary category at next year's Oscars.

The kid is hot. First, Justin Bieber became the first person since, well, himself to land two albums in the top five on the Billboard 200, and now his 3-D movie, "Never Say Never," has vaulted into the #3 position on the list of top-grossing documentaries of all time.
According to Box Office Mojo, "Never" has grossed $64,162,036 to date, putting it on track to possibly overtake the #2 doc of all time, "March of the Penguins," which grossed more than $77 million. It's unlikely to knock off the top documentary of all time, Michael Moore's 2004 flick "Fahrenheit 9/11," which rolled up $119 million, but with the "Never" director's cut re-release last weekend (which brought in another $9 million), Bieber is positioned to conquer yet another medium.
In his run to the top, Bieber has leaped over such lauded and popular docs as "Super Size Me," Madonna's "Truth or Dare," Moore's "Bowling for Columbine," former Vice President Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" and the nature flick "Earth." It also took the crown for the biggest opening weekend of any documentary, with a $29.5 million first weekend, squeezing past the $23 million open of "Fahrenheit."
Hollywood may end up catching Bieber Fever as well, with The Hollywood Reporter asking in a recent article whether "Never" could land the 17-year-old phenom a spot at the Oscars next year. A source told the trade magazine that "Never" had serious buzz at some post-Oscar parties thanks to its healthy grosses, which have impressed some Academy members.
"You'd be surprised at the caliber of people who came up to Justin at the Vanity Fair party at the Sunset Tower, most of whom had seen the movie and loved it," said an unnamed insider. "There was even talk of putting it up for an Oscar next year in the documentary category. People appreciate that it's not just a kids' movie." The article mentioned that Bieber was one of the brightest stars at the Fair party, chatting up Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger and working the room like a pro.
