Floated2 Chaos Theory is a relatively unknown independent drama starring Ryan Reynolds. The acting in this film remains good and watchable and although the overall plot seems original, it does not head in places where it could have been completely interesting and intriguing. A lot of the characters are awful people, mainly the supporting cast of Emily Mortimer and Stuart Townsend's character. Though the film is short in runtime and feels as if some plot points are added to fill up time. It feels like a sitcom television episode at certain points. There is a reason as to why Chaos Theory has become forgettable and is mainly recommend fora one time watch. The message of the film appears to be that one little change (such as changing clocks forward) can affect a person's entire outcome of life.

eric262003 As much as I enjoy the romantic comedy in all its formulaic glory, I was hoping to enjoy "Chaos Theory". I felt that Ryan Reynolds was custom made to play the part of neurotic public speaker Frank Allen as he conveys the emotion and general likeness that the character possesses. The sad news is that this low-budgeted obscure romantic comedy is an illogical and incoherent mess. Everyone may look at this movie in different ways and your opinions whether you agree or disagree with me will be respected no matter what, but I just don't see how anyone would give this movie a perfect ten or let alone an eight star rating. The acting which was the least worst thing about this movie only can rendered as average to say the least. The movie's plot seems very disorganized and unsettling throughout and the conflicts within the characters lack in anything considered logical. It also can't decide on a specific genre leaving us scratching our heads in utter confusion. What is the genre? Is it a comedy? Is it a drama? I could never come up with what it's intended to be. To be blunt, this is not Ryan Reynolds' defining moments in his cinematic career and maybe you might like the movie if you can not think the notion about how this movie is just one big of time. The opening scenes kick off in a tasteless perspective as a group of chums are talking about retarded nonsense like giving names to their genitals. But the worst part of it all is they all have given them names. Talk about insulting one's intelligence. While at a New Year's Eve party, A woman named Susan (Emily Mortimer) has a resolution to find someone to love and to marry and of course we all know her intentions are to marry Frank (thanks to the traditional usage of sound reasoning you only find in movies) which makes this gimmick both overdone and stale. Several years later, Frank's life take a turn in a new and very disappointing turn as he arrives late to get on the ferry. How aquatic transportation operates is above my head, but it's stupid that the guy who rides the ferry would not let Frank on. There was no reason for that. It was no like they were other people in back of Frank and they didn't raise the ramps yet so there was no reason for depriving Frank from getting on the ferry. Plus he would have to wait another hour before getting on the next one. There was no excuse to let one more person aboard the ferry. Sure it's a minor quip but the whole script felt like it was written by a high school student working on a class project. It was that amateur. The movie just runs under the ninety minute mark which is fine for a low-budget romantic comedy, but there are two very distracting subplots that upstage the main plot of the story that goes on for way too long. When Frank drives a pregnant lady (Jocelyne Loewen) to the hospital we are enlightened to over three minutes of him telling her to breathe. And then there's the convoluted subplot where we discover that the daughter he thought was biologically his was really not because he's got Klinefelter's syndrome. In laymen's terms he's sterile. And to top that all off we see our principal character on a melancholy stroll to the lake where he bawls in tears which goes on for another three more minutes. Please stop the torture. In addition Frank is vexed that Susan tweaked his alarm clock ten minutes late tarnishing his punctual reputation which leads him to succumb to withdrawn activities like drinking and chasing after an attractive young blond (Sarah Chalke) and almost succeeded in getting in bed with her. Here we see another plot hole as to why would a devoted father want to commit an act of promiscuity with another woman as to wound his psychological wounds? Let alone have his friend Buddy (Stuart Townsend) there (who seems to arbitrarily act flirty towards his wife), but it's all null and void because in the end, he never nails her anyways so what's the point? All it sums up to is one pointless cliché that served no purpose to the story. Another deterring scene that made my blood boil was when the nurse who delivered the pregnant lady's baby seemed to mysteriously know Frank and Susan's phone number and when she tried to call Frank to tell her the news he was not available at the time. The nurse as professional as can be, thought Frank was the father and that's when all hell broke loose. She now thinks he's living a double life behind her back and she kicks him to the curb. If he's sterile and can't have kids then who's the biological father to Jesse? Anyhow, Buddy tries to persuade Susan that Frank loves her and is an honest one-woman man. His dialogue provided was weak and very stone-faced. Up until then, his character was drier then a two week old prune. And how did the pregnant woman know where where Frank lived when she left the hospital. Baffling!Another illogical scenario is that a week before her marriage to Frank, she slept with Buddy and when Frank points that out, she made the excuse that it was done after he promised to faithful to her. We also see at the beginning how the groom is having second thoughts in marrying his fiancé because during a temporary break-up she made romance to another guy. Then his friend has the audacity to say that it's normal and that he's lucky to have her. Seriously? This guy needs better friends and an honest lady or just stay a single for life. This movie is frustrating.

trkmn-uur Actually I watched the movie because Ryan Reynolds played. But I didn't like the movie and disappointed. In addition I bored when watching. The movie can be summarized like this; Frank's wife, Susan (Emily Mortimer), and seven-year-old daughter, Jesse (Matreya Fedor), find his obsession charming in small doses, but as a steady diet it can be very frustrating. One morning, Susan attempts to loosen her husband's scheduling stranglehold by adding ten minutes to his day. But, by setting the clock backward instead of forward, she inadvertently unleashes a series of mishaps that turn his meticulously ordered life upside down. A belligerent ferryman, a ruthless seductress, a reluctant mother-to-be and the secret amour of his best friend, Buddy (Stuart Townsend), combine to send his life into complete chaos.As his life unravels in several directions simultaneously, however, a stunning family revelation forces Frank to look fate squarely in the eye. Shaken to his core, he starts living entirely in the moment, allowing him to defy the conventions that have heretofore defined him. Those carefully coordinated index cards that had once kept his life in perfect order now become a deck of chance as Frank scribbles spontaneous ideas on random cards, shuffles, chooses and follows the luck of the draw with unexpected results.Frank is about to discover that not even an efficiency expert armed with timetables and index cards can change the serendipitous nature of family and friendship, love and forgiveness.

cansu ay I am Cansu Ay from Çanakkale.Before i watched the "Chaos Theory", i thought it was attractive movie. The movie began with a wedding. But what was that? The groom was so coward of getting marry.He was afraid of being a married man. In that time, bride's father talked with groom. He told him that a long story.And story started…Tthere was married couples( Frank and Susan) for 7 years in the movie. Firstly, you think that everything is on the way.Everything is very nice. But one morning, Frank was late for his conference because of his wife, Susan.That situation was awful. Because Frank was so punctual person. He was very angry to her wife,Susan.When Frank went out for his conference, he had some troubles.Firstly, he caught the steamer. In the end, he went to conference. And then he would stay in a hotel room for that night.But there was a silly girl. She was drunk and she wanted to have a nice night with him. But Frank didn't want to it. And he ran away. While he was going to home, he came across a pregnant woman. And she was about to get birth. Then the unwanted situations went on. But Frank learned a reality in the hospital and he was disappointed. He went to home and asked to his wife if it was true or not. Susan was surprised and said to him something... Frank left her alone and went. He thought some plans for killing himself, Susan and another man. But he could not do. There was a little daughter of him. He was a father.I liked this movie. But this movie reminded me again that " Trust No One , Deceive Every One". This world is so cruel.Sometimes you do not want to believe some bad realities. But life.. You do not what will happen.
