Overview
Frank Allen, a professional speaker who lectures on time management has a perfectly ordered and scheduled life, down to the minute. When his wife sets his clock forward 10 minutes as a joke, his day is thrown off. Deciding that his strictly ordered life has done him little good, he begins to make multiple choice index cards, choosing one at random and doing what is written on the card.
At its heart, there is a fairly compelling story here. I like the idea of a man falling down and questioning his life and who he is. I just don’t know that the delivery of the premise was very good. Reynolds and Mortimer are always good but I think that this movie had a low ceiling because of the script.
