Chaos Theory by lilysillycat
Ryan Reynolds stretches his acting chops to show a serious side in this romantic comedy that does what few do: ages a pretty boy movie star quite well. Reynolds plays an efficiency expert that learns that life is actually totally unpredictable. His wife, played by Emily Whatshername, is a bit unsympathetic and *****y until the final few scenes, but the little girl who plays his daughter is as cute as a bug in a rug throughout. If you are a Ryan Reynolds fan, you may be suprised to see him playing a bride's father convincingly in this "flash-back" style movie. You may also be unhappy with the leading lady, who does not have chemistry with Reynolds on screen. Frat boy raw humor fans will be disappointed- this movie has a Lifetime-style message. More of a dramedy than a comedy. 2 1/2 stars if you like chick flicks. 11/2 stars if you are a man's man (there is actually a bar fight scene!)
