Guide Review - 'Chaos Theory' DVD Review
The StoryRyan Reynolds stars as Frank Allen, a man so well-organized he teaches seminars on time management skills. Frank loves lists and loves to jot down simple declarative statements on index cards. Everything about his life is meticulously planned out. Well, almost everything. His wife, Susan (Emily Mortimer), is an elementary school teacher who marches to the beat of a disorganized drummer. Still, their life together is good and they have a beautiful, intelligent 7-year-old daughter to prove it.
However, there wouldn't be much of a story to tell if things in Frank's life proceeded on schedule. One morning Susan decides to change the clock by 10 minutes, believing she's giving Frank extra time when actually she's making him 10 minutes late. That act sets in motion a series of events that will change Frank's outlook on life forever.
The Bonus Features
The Chaos Theory DVD is not exactly loaded with extra features. The only thing you'll find on the DVD, besides the feature film itself, is a different opening sequence. That's it. And there's definitely a reason the opening sequence in the feature film was selected and not the one on the DVD...
