Ryan Reynolds' exceptional performance as an efficiency expert off his game is the best reason to see Chaos Theory, a drama-comedy full of surprises. Reynolds plays Frank, a compulsive list-maker and paragon of punctuality who gets behind schedule one day by a mere ten minutes and watches his world fall down around him. Arriving late for one of his own seminars, the rattled Frank becomes vulnerable to a serial seducer (Sarah Chalke) of married men, and drawn into a baby-delivery emergency. The ensuing confusion causes a rift between Frank and his suspicious wife (Emily Mortimer), which is nothing compared to what happens after Frank--trying to resolve his problems--discovers he's not the father of his daughter, Jesse (Elisabeth Harnois). Daniel Taplitz's screenplay feels a little random in its first act, though there is a lot to enjoy, particularly a preface that finds Frank around age 50, a wily observer of human nature advising his future son-in-law on how to survive tough times in marriage. (The film's story proper is actually told in flashback.) Reynolds co-stars, including Stuart Townsend as Frank's best friend, are all very good. But Reynolds has lately been perfecting such rising-toward-clarity roles as Frank (see also The Nines), and he is superb at conveying competing emotions under extreme stress. Equally ludicrous and sympathetic, Frank gives Chaos Theory an absurdist soul. --Tom Keogh

 I Love Lucy October 27, 2008
If you liked the tv shows "Married With Children" or "King Of Queens" you'll probably like this moronofest but if your IQ is over 100 then skip this 90 minute episode of "I Love Lucy". The whole thing hinges on events that NO ONE would do - leaving your name, address and phone number at the hospital when dropping of a stranger for example. Then there's the fight with his wife which could have been resolved in 30 seconds if he would have made any attempt at all to explain instead he ends up living in a dive motel. Yeah, that would happen. All the "humor" in this is telegraphed way ahead of time and the insipid sound track makes you fast forward through the "touching reflective moments". I had my finger on the "stop" button at 30 minutes into this. I went the distance but wish I hadn't. This sucked.
 A butterfly flaps its wings and suddenly Reynolds is doing chick flicks? September 7, 2008

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.
 An unpredictable romantic comedy! I loved it.! September 1, 2008

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.
Loved it!!! August 24, 2008

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 August 16, 2008

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.
