Chaos Theory 2007


    Frank is an obsessively organized efficiency expert, he gives lectures on how to be efficient and he follows his advice to the letter in his own life.  He can’t be late, he has to make lists and lists of where is lists are located.  He makes notes on 3x5 cards and all this takes up a lot of time in his life.  He’s married to Susan and they have a daughter Jesse who is 7 years old.  Susan is a school teacher and she is not at all like Frank.  Jesse loves her dad and she doesn’t care about his lists. 
     This is an illustration of what can happen to a list maker when their entire life as they know it is shaken and stirred!  Frank decides that whim will guide his life from now on and he will write random single words on 3x5 cards, shuffle them and do what it says on the card he picks.  All over the place on the screen, crazy to somber and then back again.  3* (This movie is OK) 

87 min, Drama directed by Marcos Siega with Ryan Reynolds, Emily Mortimer, Stuart Townsend, Sarah Chalke, Mike Erwin, Constance Zimmer. 

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, 6.8 out of 10, 30% critic 59% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
