That was an excellent one.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

A wedding appears to be about to begin but a gentleman is giving advice to the groom. He's Frank (Ryan Reynolds). Spilling out a story as an example, Frank tells his tale. This man had a lucrative job, giving advice to Vancouver area businesses on how to make maximum use of their time. He himself was ruled by clocks and notecards. Sometimes, this upset his lovely wife, Susan (Emily Mortimer) and his young daughter, for they can had a harder time getting his attention. One day, long ago, Susan launches a scheme to get Frank to have another cup of coffee with her at breakfast. She resets the clocks ten minutes. Unhappily, she sets them the wrong way! Instead of gaining time, Frank loses it. Now, late for the ferry, he misses it by a few seconds and the boatman refuses to let him board. This makes him late for his speaking engagement and the rest of the day. Ticked off at Susan, Frank ends up getting a few drinks at end of the work day and falls for a blonde's advances. But, once they are in a hotel room, Frank declares he loves his wife and bolts. This makes the pickup artist mad so she phones Susan. On the way home, Frank also rescues a pregnant lady and takes her to the hospital. Putting his name on papers, the medical establishment ALSO calls Susan. What happens next? You guessed it! Susan pitches a fit and refuses to let Frank back in the house until he can prove he's not the father of the baby. Yet, running to get a DNA test, this leads to more problems and uncovered secrets, especially with a close friend of the couple, Buddy (Stuart Townsend). Chaos is the name of the game. Will all end happily? This is an interesting story with good actors (I greatly admire Reynolds and Mortimer), scenic sets, nice costumes, an intriguing script and a secure direction. Its like films such as Sliding Doors, without the benefit of living things over again but just dealing with issues in the present time. Therefore, if you like the cast (Townsend is a looker, too, with good acting chops), get this movie. My theory is it is most worthwhile.

Chaos Theory's first ten minutes are boring, followed by a moving journey that follows one couples' path to forgiveness after the realization of infidelity. The last few minutes mirror the beginning in their annoyingly simplistic banality, but the middle hour of the film is completely engaging. More impressive is that, though it is mainly Frank's story, the separate actions of both he and his wife are treated as equally important in terms of how they impact their family unit. The chemistry between parents and child feel lived-in. In flashback, Frank is revealed to be an efficiency expert that just begins to get hired for public speaking events after the recent publication of a booklet on saving time. At this first lecture, an attendee attempts to seduce Frank, whose wife, Susan, calls at an inopportune moment to hear another woman in the background. Frank escapes the room, remaining mostly faithful to his wife, but ends up in a car accident with a pregnant woman, whom he escorts to a hospital. His name ends up on the kid's birth certificate by mistake, which ends with Frank fighting against hard evidence that he's leading a double life. The tide turns, however, when DNA testing reveals that not only is he not the father of the baby in question, he's not the father of his own child either. Now Susan's past becomes an issue. It's unfortunate that a film that is only 86 minutes long is bracketed by 20 minutes of aggravation, bookends that almost feel like they were shot to cushion the adult content in the middle. The fairly unique ideas that Chaos Theory explores are worth watching. Some scenes are funny and touching, mostly the ones involving Jesse, but relying on a child to add sparkle to your film is cheating. With it's boring characters, overly-complicated yet simple-minded plot, and totally ridiculous ending, Chaos Theory attempts to project a sense of sweetness and hope.

Frank Allen (Ryan Reynolds) who makes new lists every day lives his life with a planned program. One Christmas, he goes out with his friends, Susan (Emily Mortimer), Buddy (Stuart Townsend). That day, Susan tells her friends she wants to marry and will choose the bridge groom among her friends. At any rate, everybody is admired her. However, she considers Frank who wants her since they met with each other. Finally, they got married and had a daughter whose name is Jesse. By the way, with putting the clock back, Frank's life becomes too much complicated. He misses the ferry. While he is driving is car, he crashes a pregnant woman's car. And he has to carry her to the hospital. Susan who misunderstands this situation, argues with Frank. Therefore, he takes DNA test in order to prove that the pregnant woman's baby is not him. Yet, he learns that he is infertile. Any more, he has a deepening crisis and doesn't know what he will do. Will he forgive or leave Susan? Firstly, I must say that after 'just friends', Ryan's movie which I laugh so much is 'chaos theory'. In my opinion, the scenario is really different from the daily life events. It is very funny besides this, it successfully includes emotional and full of love scenes emphasizing the power of love despite lie, deceiving or betraying. But, there is the only part which I don't like is the final scene about "happily ever after ". I think, being obsessed with happy end causes absolutely simplicity although the topic is fascinating. Maybe, the final part can be more surprising. As well, if I were Frank, I couldn't forgive Susan. Of course everybody says lots of white lie. It is almost inevitable. But deceiving somebody about an important topic is unacceptable. Anyway, chaos theory is really successful romantic comedy. My vote is 8!

I have watched this movie in the lesson. The movie began with a wedding. Bride's father talked with groom. He told him that a story. And the film goes back in time when Frank and his wife Susan Emily Mortimer are married and have a seven year old girl called Jesse. Frank being such a time management freak Susan decides to set the clocks back behind ten minutes only finding out that she set it the wrong way and Frank is late. This action sets the chaos for Frank being late for the ferry; his time management lecture and making him spend the night at the city. As things couldn't seem worst Frank is forced to leave his hotel room being faithful to not cheat on his wife, Frank rescues a pregnant woman in labor. Susan finds out about the pregnant woman thinking its Franks she kicks him out for being unfaithful. While Frank finds evidence for Susan he also finds out that his entire marriage has been a lie and goes on an insane rampage of luck and random selection of cards he wrote himself on the action he should do at that very moment. Living by the moment. When he learned his wife cheated him decided to kill her but he didn't as he loved her. At the end of the movie love gains. At first I thought it was a comedy but as the film went on Chaos Theory turned into a drama and a very sad one There was some points in the movie were your laughing and you realize that the scene is actually really depressing. Chaos Theory has this pattern of being really funny to turning really sad and depressing to once again a great laugh. Although Chaos has its tears and laughs I did enjoy the movie and was pleased with the film.
