Jesse Allen (Elisabeth Harnois) is getting married but her groom Ed (Mike Erwin) has cold feet. He finds out that she was with somebody else when they broke up. Her father Frank (Ryan Reynolds) finds him sneaking out the back door and sits him down for a talk. He tells him about his life with his wife Susan (Emily Mortimer), womanizing best friend Buddy Endrow (Stuart Townsend) and Paula Crowe (Sarah Chalke).There is a slight comedic tone in the movie that is ill-fitting. The story struggles to get going. The characters are not that appealing. The misunderstanding is ridiculously stupid. It feels like a silly sitcom. When Frank goes crazy, the movie gets better. If only the movie can figure out how to get there without the silly setup.

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.

A successful comedy, drama, and romance
The movie is really worth watching because it represents ordinary people's chaos of life. It is not too emotional, not too dramatic, or not full of comedy. Therefore, it simply feels like that we experience instead of the characters. The characters are so real that you suppose actors/actresses as the same persons with the characters. You find yourselves smiling and thinking it is life, at the end of the movie. I think the one who wants to see what is happening in our life, won't be bored while watching. Actually, I didn't get bored watching it because I realized that I was trying to analyze people in the movie. Frank is right; he wants to organize everything in life to be punctual. Susan is also right because she is wife and she has the right to doubt her husband. And even Buddy is right because no one suppose that he should be responsible for something. You know nothing goes well every time. Life is not simple so every time there is something blows people's work. And then a chaos
Who knows that missing a ferry and helping a pregnant can cause such things? I think it is not a chaos, but may be a realizing. They pretend their life is fine, but we know that it is not fine. We know because we are outside of the movie, but something should occur for them to realize that their life can be more beautiful than this. They can do this behaving as they want instead of being organized in a strict way (Frank's situation), learning to be responsible for something (Buddy's situation), and may be trusting more the ones we love (Susan's situation). So the movie is a helpful demonstration of life that shows nothing is perfect, and also we are. The only thing people can do is to balance the life despite the chaos in it.

Chaos Theory is really impressive film. It is a serious, emotional and dramatic. Frank survive his life with his plans. His wife changes the time and everything begins with this. He misses the ferry with fifteen minutes and he had to have overnight journey. He avoid a accident and stopped. He had to carry the pregnant woman to hospital. Then everybody thought that he is father of the baby. Frank argued with his wife because of a telephone call from the hospital and after that he learned that he is infertile. After learning this situation this time he leaves his wife. While Frank thinks that he is living a excellent and planned life he finds himself in a disgusting game. He learn everything and how his wife and his best friend deceive him. After all He thinks that reason of events is living in programs and he decides to be a exactly different man. My favourite scene is writing notes for what is he going to do and choose randomly one then he never thinks what will be in the end. The film emphasize the felling of forgiving in success.If you see R.Reynolds in the film you can think of laughing but you must not do this because you won't like it. Think of seeing R.Reynolds in a different character and begin watching it, I am sure you'll like it. The film was fascinating and R.Reynolds is suited to film. His acting is unquestionably excellent. In the film, experiences of the father was really effective. I thought that everybody will be in this situation and I thought what they will do? I couldn't find an answer for this question but I think I can't forgive my best friend and my wife because everything is a lie and everything you do with is fake.In conclusion, this movie is really well worth seeing! I advise everybody. My vote is 9!
