Review of Chaos Theory (2008) by Kami B — 20 Apr 2011

Chaos Theory is actually quite an entertaining movie about family and marriage, about friendship and misundertandings. It takes up the subject of how one misunderstanding can lead to another and the consequences that follow. It tells the story of how things can change in an instant and how one little thing can be the reason for everything else happening. How if that little thing hadn't happened, the rest of it probably wouldn't have either.

Ryan Reynolds might be a bit too young to play the father of a twenty-something-year-old it felt like, since he didn't really change much from when he had a daughter that was seven to when his daughter was about twenty. But he still played the role well which made it to a possibility, and it didn't get on your nerves as much as it could have.

The rest of the cast were also great. And together with the fantastic soundtrack they made this movie into an entertainment and a worthwhile experience. Emily Mortimer played great as the wife and Matreya Fedor was great as the daughter. Together they made a family worth watching. They teach you that you shouldn't interrupt conversations and you should listen to what the other person has to say before you add something. It might even turn out that everything was a misunderstanding after all.
