Ryan Reynolds, Emily Mortimer, Chaos Theory

36:14 Well, that was an interesting turn of events lol.

@54:01: https://youtu.be/MhgspCcFbeU?t=3290  [time, efficiency]--No. No. No passion; your life is dead. Say yes to chaos. Say yes to chance. Believe in miracles!

whimpering, crying like little girl, softly

[3 lovers in Susan's life: 

Alan Zelf, Frank (husband, not his daughter—Jesse is not his biological father), and Buddy (Bob, the biological father).

I'm guessing the xxy bit? and also guessing (not having finished yet);they missed a trick at the end, they could have added another twist in the final stretch and gone with he also has chimerism, his gonads have different DNA to wherever they took the sample to test from and the kid is his, though that might have been a bit too comedy of errors for what they wanted of course also a bit difficult to see how you'd come up with a plausible reason for them to check him for that which could be naturally written in without seeming a bit forced, even if a paternity test for his friend turned out negative the natural goto would be there was another she wasn't admitting to, no one would reasonably go to that outside possibility and check for that.
Well, wife and kid only recognized him alone, no matter what

True Love is "Just Love plus No condition." It is an awesome movie.

Celebrated author and efficiency expert Frank Allen (Ryan Reynolds) has always lived in step with a well-planned series of lists and timetables. His wife (Emily Mortimer) decides to play a joke on him and sets his clock back 10 minutes, but the consequences are far greater than expected. As Frank's well-ordered existence unravels, he opens up to the randomness of life.

Lol, he should have just been honest with her when she called. It would have all been fine, and they would have talked. The result: They would have both realized how effected he was by your schedule. It wouldn't be fun, and he would engage in more spontaneous interactions with his fun-loving wife. ?

Target your heart. It hurts. I know how that feels... trying to keep a family together and trying to be a good man.

I have learned that it's better to be satisfied with not the best-looking wife that doesn't cheat than to be with the best-looking but cheating type.

I believe most people failed to realize that she didn't actually cheat on him. She was not in a relationship with any of her "friends" prior to the New Year's night choice she made; also, notice they both had their hands on her legs. He didn't completely realize that she didn't actually cheat on him until shortly after the boat incident when he was informed by his friend, "She didn't choose me that night; she chose you; she loves you; Jesse loves you; and even I love you.". I don't think the "friend" was a good friend, though, for trying to hook up while things were going bad.
for those that haven't seen the movie, thank you for the spoiler; very selfish of you, really
 @adamhousden6349  people do this; you chose to read the comments before watching. It's on you.
I've watched this film twice. I enjoy seeing Canada stand in for the United States. I really enjoy Emily Mortimer, and I am amazed she is such a fine actor. This story was quite the cliffhanger, and it tells a tale of how a mistake can really screw up what should be sacred and the ultimate power of forgiveness. The story is totally Shakespearean in pattern, and the character of Susan seems so female, believing her husband was a complete opposite to her experience of him with NO evidence. In my experience, a female will cut and run with nothing but a rumor.

16:40 Sometimes when my life gets too hectic and i have less than 8 hours of sleep per night, i resort to list-making. It lightens my brain load because it no longer has to remember a chronological list of tasks that i have to accomplish during the day or for the week. Really useful when stressed and forgetful.
 
Yes, it keeps us to our purpose. Without a list, there is no clear purpose; no purpose will lead either to chaos or procrastination. It does help me too.
 
This is not a happy ending because a cheater will always be a cheater. Once you forgive and accept them, somehow it triggers in their brain that in their moment of next "weakness" they will tell themselves that you'll forgive them again. I'll walk away from just once. A cheater is a ticking time bomb; she will definitely cheat again, except next time, she will be better at hiding it from you.
Being cheated on is a valuable mirror for your own infidelity yourself. Be careful the next time you are unfaithful to yourself for somebody else The trigger mirror can be a highly valuable one???? Much love and peace

Where we expect chaos, there is order; where we create order, there is chaos.

Couldn't agree with you more lol. Sometimes good intentions yields bad results...mere mortals and entanglements

Notice the girl took the Rolex watch after lying about her birthday. Her mother lied about sleeping with someone else for two weeks, not one. She's sort of like her mother.
Can't say the bridegroom wasn't warned. 
In the final scene, the wife looks at her daughter's biological father. Probably more indications throughout the movie that the father is a simp.

"Frank the Simp" would have been a better title.
That's a hard ending. Sometimes that's just the way life is. Gosh, been there, done that; it hurts. There's a man; sometimes you bite down and you just eat it
It's called being a simp.
Who the heck is the shirtless guy with boxer shorts, a cowboy hat, and knee-high socks, strolling in the school in the background while a teacher and Frank's wife, Susan, talk? It must be a joke on the set. LOL! (check out time marker 44:04 - 44:07). And check the banner in the classroom where it says "What Makes A Family" just when Frank's friend Buddy comes to tell Susan that he thinks her daughter is his too and not Frank's. (time marker 50:50) Another little, hilarious, ironic joke in the background. ;)
 
So the mother sleeps with his best friend (and has a daughter with him), and the daughter ends up sleeping with another guy for two weeks??? What's wrong with the men in this movie??

It seems like this thread is a collection of thoughts and reflections on *Chaos Theory*, the film featuring Ryan Reynolds and Emily Mortimer. From the comments, there's a lot of commentary on relationships, the idea of chaos versus order, and the impact of mistakes or misunderstandings on personal lives. The term "simp" is used here by some to describe characters who, in their view, are overly passive or forgiving to the point of being taken advantage of or hurt.

It’s interesting how people see characters' actions differently. Some see Frank as a "simp" because of how much he tolerates or tries to make things right, even when he’s hurt. Meanwhile, others are reflecting on the complexities of love and relationships, where the line between loyalty, forgiveness, and self-respect gets blurred.

It’s a pretty deep dive into how chaotic life can get when things are tightly controlled and the consequences of those moments of spontaneity and miscommunication. What did you think of the movie and the character dynamics?
