By creating likable characters and putting them in situations that seem plausible, if a bit of a stretch, the film succeeds where others of its genre fail.

When you watch Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds, there's often a sense that you're not just watching him perform in a movie, you're watching the next stage of his unfolding career plan.

Not exactly bad, but it disappointingly never really discovers the movie that it wants to be.

Atonal romantic comedy.

The picture continuously shuffles moods like tunes on an iPod without ever making any lasting commitments.

A predictable romantic dramedy that isn’t particularly tender, moving or amusing, Chaos Theory suffers first and foremost from featuring the least engaging couple to headline a movie in some time.

The audience, if any, for Chaos Theory is going to be hit with a little puff of celluloid flatulence. The movie won't linger in the air, but that doesn't make it any less embarrassing.

It's kind of ironic to see Ryan Reynolds putting more effort than usual into his acting in a film where the script obviously didn't help him at all. This film is pretty old enough, but it's clear to me that if it hadn't been for Deadpool, the guy would've run out of credit and charisma in Hollywood a long time ago.
