Chaos Theory
ComedyDramaRomance87 min
Ryan Reynolds is Frank Allen, a time-management speaker whose life runs on lists, timetables, and color-coded index cards, with every minute accounted for. When Frank’s wife Susan (Emily Mortimer) tries to loosen him up with a small clock prank, his carefully ordered day veers into missed appointments, messy coincidences, and consequences he can’t file away. As the fallout spreads to his marriage, his friendships, and a piece of medical news he wasn’t prepared for, Frank abandons strict planning for a new system: writing possible choices on cards, shuffling them, and living by whatever comes up next. Stuart Townsend appears as Frank’s closest friend, Buddy.
