Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Adjustment Bureau (2011)

The trailers for this movie made it look so stupid. And, alright, yeah, it’s stupid alright.  The Bureau is basically all-powerful at manipulation of the world (stopping time...moving objects) but they can only travel through their special portals if they're wearing HATS.  Uh, okayyyyy.

Still, there's a kind of sweet “true love can conquer anything” plot and the leads, Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, are pretty dang winning. Sometimes that's enough.
