There's a daily list for just about everything--ferry schedules, deadlines, dry cleaning--every detail of his life meticulously mapped out to keep life on track. His beautiful wife, Susan, and his 7-year-old daughter Jesse, find his obsessiveness charming, if not a little frustrating at times. After a misunderstanding with his wife reveals new truths about his family and best friend Buddy, Frank throws caution to the wind and embarks on living life by chance.

Ryan Reynolds is the finest actor of his generation. Blade 3, Van Wilder, now this. I get the feeling they asked Jared Leto to play his friend 'Buddy'but leto turned it down as being 'beneath him'- What an utter cunt he is, because he missed out on something beautiful here. I made that up. I bed Leto was never even approached. This film is actually OK. Reynolds is funny. You could say this film is treading that famous line between romantic comedy and comedy du romantique. It is niether. It is a terrible film which somehow works because the people who made it did a good job. Watchable as fuck.
Starting to really like Ryan Reynolds as an actor and he does a great job in this film. The story was great with a couple of huge twists. It's funny, sad, and had an amazing soundtrack in my opinion.

The story was great with a couple of huge twists. It's funny, sad, and had an amazing soundtrack in my opinion. The only downside to it was it was only 87 minutes long. I think there are place where they could have added some detail to make it even better and longer.

(read more) yllattava elokuva, en tieda edes miksi tama tarttui makuunin hyllysta mukaan, mutta ei tarvinnut pettya ainakaan. Elokuva kertoi mielenkiintoisesti aikatauluistaan neuroottisen paahenkilon maailman romahtamisesta ja sita kautta myos sen totaaliseen mullistumiseen. Tata muutosta on mielenkiintoinen seurata ja olisin jopa seurannut enemmankin, nyt elokuva tuntui lyhyehkolta kun valiin olisi viela saanut lisaa mustaa huumoria ja sarkasmia. lisakiitosta elokuva ansaitsee onnistuneista juonenkaanteista ja ryan reynoldsin roolihahmosta jonka ryan vetaa viela hyvin.
Loppujen lopuksi elokuva on ihan disney kaikkine lassyn lassyn sanomineen mutta todella positiivinen yllatys katselukokemuksena.
You can not imagin that until you get the truth.
And its hard to admit that we are effected by everyone without reasones.
Is it pitty?

This moving has a great start but go to cliche again, try to educate all of us about the love and the responsbility or something else.......Dont try to play as our teacher, ok?
Critic Reviews
Chaos Theory, starring Ryan Reynolds, confirms the underground vision of screenwriter Daniel Taplitz, who has re-imagined the screwball comedy in original terms.full review
It's swift and watchable enough, and the actors keep things interesting, but ultimately the movie falls short.full review
The audience, if any, for Chaos Theory is going to be hit with a little puff of celluloid flatulence. The movie won't linger in the air, but that doesn't make it any less embarrassing.full review
It's genial enough, but it should be called My First Mid-Life Crisis Movie.full review
Reynolds is more than likable in the lead.full review
No doubt there's a minute audience who wants to walk out of a Ryan Reynolds movie contemplating the vagaries of life. The rest of us would have settled for a few more laughs.full review
