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 amor of his best friend, Buddy, combine to send his life into complete chaos.
There are some things in life that a man should never find out. But this movie is a great reason to believe in your inner self and to not let the small things that happen get in the way. There are several great laughs in the story but the plot (there doesn’t really seem like one), it’s just a funny movie with lots of laughs. The audience seems to like when the main character, Frank Allen (played by Ryan Reynolds) absolutely looses his cool. You will see psychosis happening right before your eyes and start praying that you never get like that.
If you and your date want an evening of fun laughs, this movie is great. If you want a story about romance, then go see something else! All I will tell you is to bring your index cards! Go see this movie, it will lighten your evening up by at least 3 whole points. I give it a rating of a B-. I only give it this because I have not laughed at a movie like this in a long time…but don’t take my word for it…get up off your butt and go see it yourself!
The movie Chaos Theory opens April 11, 2008 at the Guild 45th Theater, 2115 N 45th St. in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood. Visit their website for showtime and ticket information.
