UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Davis P The Dilemma starring Vince Vaughn and Kevin James is actually to my surprise, pretty entertaining. The acting is good, especially from Winona Ryder and Jennifer Connelly, and even Queen Latifah, the cast all showed good acting chops here. Winona Ryder really played her character well, and i thoroughly enjoyed her on par performance. Channing Tatum did what he had to do here, nothing all too special to be honest, he is hot, a scumbag, and is here for comical relief, even though I didn't really find him that funny here. I did find Queen Latifah's lines of dialogue kinda funny though...... "I wanna have sex with to' words" and "I wanna bang your brain". The mens reactions to her saying these lines is what Makes for a good laugh. Connelly gives a good strong performance here as Vaughn's girlfriend. The drama bits really is well acted and well written, there is some raw emotion and feeling In those heavy/dramatic scenes. So all in all, not hilarious or the best I've seen, but I think with a mixture of good actors, good writing, and solid performances, you will end up having a fun time with The Dilemma. 7/10.

bowmanblue Am I the only one who felt a bit duped? They put a couple of (normally quite) funny actors on the cover and the Dilemma's marketing describes it as a 'comedy.' It isn't.Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad film, just not particularly funny. No, scrub that - not funny at all. I sat there waiting for the jokes. They didn't come.Vince Vaughn discovers his best friend's wife is cheating with another man. The 'dilemma' comes as he struggles to decide what to do about it. Yes, with a plot like that, there's a certain amount of scope for comedy. However, they obviously chose not to go with it.Like I say, the film's okay, but I put it on expecting a happygolucky, silly comedy (such as the Wedding Crashers or something) to tickle my funny bone for an hour and a half. I felt a little cheated. I may however watch it another time, but only when I'm in the mood for something a little more heavy.

Eddie Jacobsen When first reading about this film I did not expect much other than a half-brain-dead flick about two friends facing, well, a dilemma. However, the movie is entertaining and the story-line well written. It could be cause of my low expectations, but I doubt it, I really enjoyed the movie. One thing that bugged me was the friend that finds out that his best friend is having an affair; how he tackled the whole thing, I'd like to see more explanations in the movie, even if we as the watchers don't need them, I don't see how any living person would go through all this without even saying a single word. This might be a spoiler, but it is not. I recommend this movie to anyone that would like an easy-to-watch movie with just enough drama, without it getting too serious and then it just has tons of golden parts to really add to it. Enjoy.

Robert J. Maxwell My television guide, with which I sometimes agree, gives this two stars out of four, but it's rather better than that. Two and a half stars.It resembles an extended television situation comedy that's intermittently funny and once in a while very funny.Briefly, big beefy Vince Vaughan and short plump Kevin James in Chicago have sold Chrysler the idea of marrying their new part-electric car with the magnificent, throaty roar and the vibration of a muscle car from the 60s. They only have a couple of days to finish the device and demonstrate it to the executives.But there's an intervening problem. Vaughan wants to marry his girl friend, Jennifer Connolly -- probably in thrall to her upper incisors -- and James is already married to Winona Ryder who, happily, was not born in Potawatamie, Kansas. Vaughan, nosing around the botanical gardens while looking for a properly romantic place to propose, catches a glimpse of Ryder smooching a strange and thoroughly tattooed man, Channing Tatum. He tracks them and discovers they're having an affair.Well, James has been his best friend for years. Should he inform? That's the titular "dilemma." There follow many incidents, some filled with action, that have comic overtones. All is revealed at an "intervention" at Vaughan's apartment. An intervention is a kind of spontaneous network therapy presided over by the beneficent Doctor Rosenstone. He's the professorial looking older fellow with the head of curly gray hair so voluminous that it forms its own ecosystem. Here, it turns out that everyone has a secret to reveal. James has been patronizing a massage parlor, for instance. People sob and hug each other. "This is catharsis," remarks the delighted Doctor Rosenstone. It's played for both tension and laughs.But this is a Ron Howard movie. And in a movie directed by Ron Howard, as in movies directed by Rob Reiner and Penny Marshal, it must end on a moment of triumph. Kevin James wins an opportunity in the hockey rink to put a shot into the goal from mid court. I was practically on my knees, praying he wouldn't make it, because he didn't need that all-paid two-week vacation for two in the Bahamas, and because the movie had already achieved its own resolution. There had been triumph aplenty. What James needed to do was miss the goal by a mile and not give a damn. Instead -- well, the writers and director don't want to take any chances with the audience's still pondering the complicated events they've just witnessed. So, let's all cheer wildly as the movie closes on Vaughan and James hugging and rolling around on the ice.
