mrhollywoodp This movie is sexist where they treat the men as stupid children:There's so many movies that make the woman authoritative and in control and the men just follow them like they are children. In most chick flicks if the guy cheats the woman kicks the guy out of the house, even though it's HIS house and he pays the bills (i.e.'Obsession' with Beyonce), and she either takes him for all he's got or she already has two guys trying to get with her who do everything for her while the cheater is so miserable without her. And in movies where the woman cheats on the guy, they show him to be pathetic and he eventually takes her back and forgives her because (like this movie says) "he should be happy that she loves him". So basically the message of most chick flicks is, if the woman cheats just forgive her because you're lucky to have her. But if you cheat on her it's OK if she takes everything from you (there's even movies where the guy who cheated just lets his ex-wive take everything because he feels so bad about cheating. Even more, there's many movies where the woman who cheated is the one who the audience roots for because the husband is either so pathetic and boring that we understand and accept what she did).At the beginning of this movie The wife thinks that the husband (ryan Reynolds character) had a baby with another woman so she kicks him out of the house (and he actually leaves, no man would leave especially since he pays the bills, etc, it's HIS house too). Then when she lets him see the daughter, her friend says "You're actually gonna let him see her?" (Reynold's character isn't a child and if he wants to see his daughter he doesn't need to ask for his wife's permission).Also, when Ryan's character finds out that his daughter isn't really his, that his wife cheated on him, they treat his character as if he can't live without his wife, and he takes her back because his friend says: "You're lucky to have her, she loves you", etc etc.I'm all for woman and men being treated as equals but with most movies (chick flicks mostly) from the 90s to present the men are treated as ridiculous, pathetic who have to do everything for women and not expect anything back. Whereas women can demand things and are almost always the ones who are right and the audience are expected to cheer for.The roles of women have changed for the better where they aren't second to the man but nowadays it's like it's been reversed. We need to change it where it's equal (something the feminists always say but of course they don't have a problem when the men are treated as such...hypocrites)
asli_hasdemirr Frank Allen lives in a world of his own.He lives his life in line with the lists which he makes every day.One new year's day, he goes out with Susan,Buddy and the other his friends for celebrating.Susan says that she wants to get married that day.Furthermore,she tells that she chooses from between her friends to get married.Everybody admires already her.She has in mind Frank who is only too glad and they gets married with together.One day, Frank is revealed to be an efficiency expert that is just beginning to get hired for public speaking events after the recent publication of a booklet on saving time. At this first lecture, an attendee attempts to seduce Frank, whose wife, Susan, calls at an inopportune moment to hear another woman in the background. Frank escapes the room, remaining mostly faithful to his wife, but ends up in a car accident with a pregnant woman, whom he escorts to a hospital. His name ends up on the kid's birth certificate by mistake, which ends with Frank fighting against hard evidence that he's leading a double life. The tide turns, however, when DNA testing reveals that not only is he not the father of the baby in question, he's not the father of his own child either. He's sterile. Now Susan's past becomes an issue.I don't wanna mention about its topic exactly that it is surprising for audiences.It is fixed great topic into great screenplay.It is a good film-making to be watched to family gathering.Ryan Reynolds and Emily Mortimer perfectly put on an act.Frank's method at the film is created a life-style for some peoples living their lives to the fullest.It sometimes has emotional scene,sometimes has funny scenes.The movie also expresses the importance of the feeling of being forgiven successfully.I give eight out of ten to movie.If you have a good time and says that life is extenuated,you will watch it.
Halil KAYA Hi I am Halil from TURKEY.I have watched this movie in our class with my friends thanks to our teacher.When I started to watch this movie I thought that it is a boring movie because of its name and something will be mentioned about chaos and its theory.Inherently I guest it is a science-fiction movie but then I recognized that it's not.From the beginning of the movie to the end of it I really enjoyed and could not find anything that makes me bored of watching it and I am sure that anybody can not be bored. Acting is awesome in movie especially while watching Frank Allen(Ryan Reynolds) you can easily understand what I mean.Of course not only Frank's performance is great in movie but also Susan(Emily Mortimer),Buddy (Stuart Townsend)and other characters. Everything in the movie begins (for Frank) with being 10 minutes late to ferry .Yes, just 10 minutes .This may surprise the people who have not watched the movie but after watching the movie I am sure that they will understand me easily.I think the events that Frank has in the movie are the general meaning of chaos.While watching this work, I easily imagined myself in the screenplay because there are some scenes that make you put yourselves in to their shoes but honestly I would not want to be.In the movie I think there are some scenes that can be eliminated.In these eliminative scenes I get confused for example in the beginning of the movie there is a conversation between Ryan and his son- in-love.I could not understand what the meaning of this scene.When we look at the movie generally the characters in the movie are good organized.I really liked the movie and I will recommend it to all my friends to watch it..It does worth watching..
cansu ay I am Cansu Ay from Çanakkale.Before i watched the "Chaos Theory", i thought it was attractive movie. The movie began with a wedding. But what was that? The groom was so coward of getting marry.He was afraid of being a married man. In that time, bride's father talked with groom. He told him that a long story.And story started…Tthere was married couples( Frank and Susan) for 7 years in the movie. Firstly, you think that everything is on the way.Everything is very nice. But one morning, Frank was late for his conference because of his wife, Susan.That situation was awful. Because Frank was so punctual person. He was very angry to her wife,Susan.When Frank went out for his conference, he had some troubles.Firstly, he caught the steamer. In the end, he went to conference. And then he would stay in a hotel room for that night.But there was a silly girl. She was drunk and she wanted to have a nice night with him. But Frank didn't want to it. And he ran away. While he was going to home, he came across a pregnant woman. And she was about to get birth. Then the unwanted situations went on. But Frank learned a reality in the hospital and he was disappointed. He went to home and asked to his wife if it was true or not. Susan was surprised and said to him something... Frank left her alone and went. He thought some plans for killing himself, Susan and another man. But he could not do. There was a little daughter of him. He was a father.I liked this movie. But this movie reminded me again that " Trust No One , Deceive Every One". This world is so cruel.Sometimes you do not want to believe some bad realities. But life.. You do not what will happen.
