Chaos Theory

He planned his life like clockwork. Now things are going cuckoo.

Frank Allen (Ryan Reynolds), celebrated author of the best seller The Five Minute Efficiency Trainer, has perfected the art of living. With his foolproof system of timetables and index cards, Frank doesn’t believe in spontaneity. Every choice he makes is deliberately designed to contribute to a well-ordered, predictable life.But life never adheres to a strict schedule.

Attempting to loosen her husband’s sche­duling stranglehold, Susan (Emily Mortimer) unleashes a series of mishaps by adding 10 minutes to Frank’s day; turning his meticulously ordered life upside down.As his life completely unravels, a shattering revelation forces Frank to look fate squarely in the eye and live entirely “in the moment,” defying the conventions that defined him. Not even an efficiency expert armed with timetables and index cards can change the serendipitous nature of family and friendship, love and forgiveness.

• " Chaos Theory, starring Ryan Reynolds, confirms the underground vision of screenwriter Daniel Taplitz, who has re-imagined the screwball comedy in original terms. " – Armond White

• " As imperfect as it is, Chaos Theory is much better than most of Hollywood's output this year. " – Jeffrey Westhoff
