Before I start talking about the film, first a few things about Chaos theory:

Basically a chaotic system is one wherein long term predictions are impossible. Like for example,if I push a car, I know that it is going to move and it will continue to do so if I go on pushing it on and on. However,in a chaotic system,this situation cannot be predicted over a long period of time. Weather for example is a chaotic system. No matter how good your instruments are,you simply cannot predict the weather with 100% accuracy over a long term basis and forecast it. This is put forward by the butterfly effect which is the most important component of a chaotic system. Basically,small perturbations results in amplifications which completely destroys the original nature of the system and makes prediction impossible. …

Chaos Theory (2007)

2.5/5. Caught between a comedy and a drama, it fails to be either.
