A young man is about to get married to Jesse (Elisabeth Harnois.) He is getting second thoughts about taking the plunge. He is cornered by the bride's father Frank Allen (Ryan Reynolds) on the way to the exit. And here the groom is told in detail and an extensive flashback how the chaos theory works (or not.)
The essence of the story starts with a wife setting a clock off 10 minutes trying to give her well organized husband an extra 10 minutes but inadvertently loses 10 minutes and it snowballs into chaos. I will not go through the many details as the surprise twists are what give value to this story. However the father explains that you cannot plan on events, but you can choose to love.
With some of the almost slapstick actions and not likely events I can see how someone would take this as a comedy. At least this has a fresher formula that all those girl meets, guy misunderstands guy, later realizes mistake and they go off happily ever after stories.
I would say that it is at least worth watching so that you can make your own decision as to whether this presentation was worth the effort. For me I'm still not too sure.

* Spoiler Alert!*
I tend to be very detailed with movie descriptions.
Ryan Reynolds is hilarious in this movie.Its him telling the story of his marriage to the man his daughter is going to marry. What basically happens is that one New Years Eve, one of his female friends wanted to get married and he's the lucky guy(who is kinda uptight and very organized).
Time wears on and one day things go terribly wrong- he misses his ferry, almost sleeps with a drunk women, helps a pregnant women in labour but his wife accuses him of cheating, only to drudge up a secret of her past.
But in the end,after everything is said and done, conflicts are solved and a happy ending follows! :D I love happy endings!

Great Twists, Ryan Reynolds at his Best

This film contains several great twists and displays a truly talented side of Ryan Reynolds in which I would like to see more of. The soundtrack was excellent, paring the right music at the right moment and pulling you into the character's anguish. The only thing keeping me from giving this film five stars was the beginning of the movie. It didn't hook me until about 25 minutes in, and then I wished it didn't end. The supporting cast was excellent, and Reynolds' character brings an appropriate amount of comic relief mixed with his unraveling.

Good find

My husband and I stumbled onto this movie by happenstance, and we weren't sure what we were in for. This movie is one of our favorites now. I was pleased to find it for a reasonable price online. None of the stores in our area had it in stock. Chaos Theory has a good mix of humor--that isn't all slapstick--and a decent story to follow. All in all, it's a good flick to watch on a date night or with friends, and it's one worth watching again.

Cleverly entertaining, but very "dark" in its comedy

This movie is definitely a dark comedy -- as some of the other reviews reveal, Ryan Reynold's character has everything go miserably wrong in his life. The irony is that he is an efficiency expert and, prior to this series of events, had an inordinately structured and "perfect" existence. When it shatters apart, he begins doing the some of the risky behavior he once condemned (driving a Harley with no helmet) and smoking. You can feel the tension because his actions go against his personality. Throughout, Reynolds is very convincing in dramatizing the stress and anxiety.
Just watching the film, I could not help but feel very empathetic toward Reynold's character. To me, it isn't really all that "laugh-out-loud" funny. Rather, it is more of a sense of shock that the poor guy has been devastated so badly and deeply.
While I normally don't like this kind of movie, I felt it was strangely compelling and well done for what it is. Just don't watch this for some light-hearted laughs.
