Movie Review:
Chaos Theory tells a gripping story about Frank (played by Ryan Reynolds) an obsessive and perfectionist man, who has a career teaching others how to be efficient and organized. He lives by his words and there is no room in his life for spontaneity.
One morning, as a practical joke, his wife decides to shake things up and turn back the clock by 10 minutes. A simple prank spirals out of control, as Frank begins to see his orderly routine crumble, not to mention his sanity, after learning devastating secrets that were kept from him.
The movie has tons of dark and quirky humour, serious moments as well as several endearing scenes between Frank and his daughter. I'll also add the concluding speech about chaos theory was extremely touching and kudos to the script writers for including it.
I didn't really know what Frank's destiny would turn out like, but sometimes those surprises have the best endings.
You know what is scary? I have friends who teach College and who are Lawyers, and they live their lives like this. Their entire life, and self esteem are scheduled around their little planner.

Hi Jesse,
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a good day, it's pretty warm today in Windsor. The usual hot and humid!
It's tough to find that balance especially when your profession requires you to be "connected" all the time to clients or your schedule is erratic and coming home at 1 am in the morning from work, when you start at 9 am is considered normal. Even a vacation can't be simply leisure time with friends or loved ones if you're texting on your blackberry!
Anyone who is so consumed by work, I tell them to watch Click: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0389860/ and it really hits home to how they need to alter their life before it's too late.
