Some scenes Chaos Theory are funny and touching, mostly the ones involving Jesse, but relying on a child to add sparkle to your film is cheating.
Chaos Theory is the sort insipid family drama that leaves audience members feeling softhearted and dumb, which means they are twice as likely to order dessert and to cross busy streets without looking both ways first.

Chaos Theory is an occasionally funny and occasionally melodramatic film from noted television director Marcos Siega ( Dexter , Shark , Cold Ca se).
Among its main issues are the collection of comic clichés, that being the film, makes it feel tired from the start, only to be saved by the story's central twist, which is excellent, and emotionally powerful, but these few moments and the subsequent fallout, are only viewed from the surface, leaving it up to the audience to imbue the film with any larger emot ...

Chaos Theory starts out funny.
With both husband and wife disillusioned and dismayed, Chaos Theory tries to turn the dial back to comedy.
Any film in which Ryan Reynolds can't make the comic bits work is very likely a lousy one.
