Chaos Theory (2008)

AVOIDING CHAOS Ryan Reynolds (pictured left, with Stuart Townsend) is an efficiency expert whose life goes off the rails, no more appealing in practice than it is in Theory

When Frank (Ryan Reynolds), a highly organized efficiency expert, misses the ferry to his next gig, it sets off a chain of contrived mix-ups that get him banished from the house by his wife (Emily Mortimer). So, in an attempt to feel more alive, he gets into a bar fight, purchases a Harley, and streaks at a hockey game. In other words, Chaos Theory peddles the usual carpe diem movie bunk. It all builds up to a last scene where Reynolds gets to say things like ''There are few things more chaotic than the beating of the human heart.'' C
