Movie #1740 "Chaos Theory" --- this little gem came up on t.v. the other night so I sat down to watch it. I missed the first couple of minutes, but it was easy to figure out what I had missed. I was intrigued that it was a Ryan Reynolds film that I hadn't seen, and an added bonus was that Emily Mortimer played his wife (She's a favorite from "Lars and the real girl," and the t.v. show "Newsroom") I wasn't disappointed in their acting --- it was very good, and atypical of what Ryan Reynolds usually does -- romantic comedies. He made the character that he was playing almost watchable, because he played an overblown OCD geek who relishes in doing the same things every day --- to the point of being boring and too predictable to his wife (Emily). I was impressed with the relationship he had with his daughter, and the believability of the conflict. It was gut wrenching, at times, to watch what these two people were dealing with, so in that way, people expecting Ryan Reynolds to be glib like he always is , might be disappointed. I rated this 3.7.
