How sad is this?

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This movie is sexist where they treat the men as stupid children:There's so many movies that make the woman authoritative and in control and the men just follow them like they are children. In most chick flicks if the guy cheats the woman kicks the guy out of the house, even though it's HIS house and he pays the bills (i.e.'Obsession' with Beyonce), and she either takes him for all he's got or she already has two guys trying to get with her who do everything for her while the cheater is so miserable without her. And in movies where the woman cheats on the guy, they show him to be pathetic and he eventually takes her back and forgives her because (like this movie says) "he should be happy that she loves him". So basically the message of most chick flicks is, if the woman cheats just forgive her because you're lucky to have her. But if you cheat on her it's OK if she takes everything from you (there's even movies where the guy who cheated just lets his ex-wive take everything because he feels so bad about cheating. Even more, there's many movies where the woman who cheated is the one who the audience roots for because the husband is either so pathetic and boring that we understand and accept what she did).At the beginning of this movie The wife thinks that the husband (ryan Reynolds character) had a baby with another woman so she kicks him out of the house (and he actually leaves, no man would leave especially since he pays the bills, etc, it's HIS house too). Then when she lets him see the daughter, her friend says "You're actually gonna let him see her?" (Reynold's character isn't a child and if he wants to see his daughter he doesn't need to ask for his wife's permission).Also, when Ryan's character finds out that his daughter isn't really his, that his wife cheated on him, they treat his character as if he can't live without his wife, and he takes her back because his friend says: "You're lucky to have her, she loves you", etc etc.I'm all for woman and men being treated as equals but with most movies (chick flicks mostly) from the 90s to present the men are treated as ridiculous, pathetic who have to do everything for women and not expect anything back. Whereas women can demand things and are almost always the ones who are right and the audience are expected to cheer for.The roles of women have changed for the better where they aren't second to the man but nowadays it's like it's been reversed. We need to change it where it's equal (something the feminists always say but of course they don't have a problem when the men are treated as such...hypocrites)

We make our own plans for life and we manage our life according to these plans. We sometimes apportion months, days or even hours. While Frank thinks that he manage the perfect life, he finds himself in a separate game. The life of Frank, who living the life of a highly planned and programmed, goes up and down as a result of be taken forward his clock so to speak. He missed the boat for 15 minutes and changes the course of his life. After his wife abandoned him and he learned new facts, completely changed course of events. After these events, he thinks that the cause of all of them is related to live in planned and programmed. He start to live a life which the opposite of his previous life. He turned into a man who never wanted to be. Some points may be familiar to you. Actually some people can find something himself or herself in this film. On the other hand, I want to talk about a negative character of Frank Allen. His wife deceived him with his close friend; she did not say that she was sterile. Although Frank learned these events, he remained indifferent all things. In my opinion, in this point we can say that Frank is completely imaginary. Because I think neither male nor female does not remain indifferent. It is a serious problem for their marriage. Nobody accept and keep quiet in the face of situation like this. It is unacceptable for our people. You think maybe I'm too narrow-minded, I don' know but it is my truth. My favorite part in chaos theory is to write what he will do in the next on stickers and to choose one of them randomly and just do it without thinking of about outcome.

Frank Allen lives in a world of his own.He lives his life in line with the lists which he makes every day.One new year's day, he goes out with Susan,Buddy and the other his friends for celebrating.Susan says that she wants to get married that day.Furthermore,she tells that she chooses from between her friends to get married.Everybody admires already her.She has in mind Frank who is only too glad and they gets married with together.One day, Frank is revealed to be an efficiency expert that is just beginning 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. He's sterile. Now Susan's past becomes an issue.I don't wanna mention about its topic exactly that it is surprising for audiences.It is fixed great topic into great screenplay.It is a good film-making to be watched to family gathering.Ryan Reynolds and Emily Mortimer perfectly put on an act.Frank's method at the film is created a life-style for some peoples living their lives to the fullest.It sometimes has emotional scene,sometimes has funny scenes.The movie also expresses the importance of the feeling of being forgiven successfully.I give eight out of ten to movie.If you have a good time and says that life is extenuated,you will watch it.

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!
