Chaos Theory (2007)

A butterfly flaps its wings and suddenly Reynolds is doing chick flicks?

A chick flick for sure, but it digs a bit deeper than most of them. Reynolds absolutely breaks your heart in a couple of scenes, but as we all must do in life, his character soldiers on -- one index card at a time. September 7, 2008

An unpredictable romantic comedy! I loved it.!

The story is classic comedy when bad things happen to good people. You just have to say "OUCH!" with every hit as you laugh at the funny way fate works our lives despite our best plans. September 1, 2008

Loved it!!!

I loved this movie, maybe in part because I'm celebrating my 25th anniversary this week and this movie reveals a truth that many who throw in the towel never get to appreciate. Love, real true love can conquer all. Our story isn't the same as this one, but we've ended up in the same place, together. So many could learn a lesson from this movie if they would but hear it.

Terrible movie

The wife cheats on the guy, throws him out of the house (without even talking to him) because of a misunderstanding, and let's him think he's raising his kid (she's not his), but in the end, he goes back to his wife because he's in love. What a bunch of garbage. This movie panders to the Oprah crowd. August 16, 2008

"A Specific List Is A Happy List" ~ Truth And The Beat Of The Human Heart

Synopsis: Frank Allen (Ryan Reynolds) thinks he's figured out the perfect system for a happy, organized life. The secret is making lists, the more specific the better. His list making abilities have been so successful he makes a living teaching business seminars the profitability of list making.

Yes things are almost too perfect for the handsome, intelligent and successful husband and Father. That is until Frank's life takes a chaotic turn for the worse and he is faced with events that cannot be solved by writing them down on a piece of paper. There's only one solution, a new paradigm must be adapted if he is to survive what lies ahead; the Chaos Theory.

Critique: You're always off to a good start in any film when you have the likes of Ryan Reynolds in the starring role. Another big plus for the '07 dark comedy romance `Chaos Theory' is the presence of the talented Emily Mortimer as Reynolds wife Susan.

If you're like me you just might be surprised early on in this film that it isn't quite what you expected. If that's the case fight the urge to tune out and stay focused, there's really a lot going on in this film if you give it a chance. The dialogue is sharp and insightful, the message contemporary and Reynolds and Mortimer's performances excellent. Well worth a watch or two. August 12, 2008
