Floated2 The Dilemma starring Vince Vaughn and Kevin James as Ronny and Nick who we see are best friends and business partners whose company is on the verge of a major success. However, when Ronny sees Nick's wife Geneva (Winona Ryder) in a hot embrace with a tattooed (Channing Tatum), he finds himself dealing with a crisis of conscience. Should he tell his best friend about his discovery or keep it all under wraps to spare his feelings? While wrestling with this, Ronny himself becomes a bit of a liar, keeping from his girlfriend Beth (Jennifer Connelly) all that he's going through and winding up in uncomfortable predicaments because of it.The Dilemma has its moments at times but isn't so much of a comedy than a drama. It has the feel of a soap television series plot that is stretch to almost 2 hours. The chemistry is there but overall the film just doesn't contain many laughs. Had the movie been presented as a broad comedy, this project may have been posed no dilemma at all for those saddled with making it.

Bluesman I enjoyed this film quite a bit. Of course it's far from perfect but it is pretty good the way it is. The movie poster is so misleading because it only shows Vince Vaughn and Kevin James but this is not your typical lighthearted Vaughn/James comedy vehicle but actually an ensemble dramedy with some dark humor. Jennifer Connelly and Winona Ryder are just as important in this film as Vaughn and James, so they should be on the poster. I suspect many people expected a very different, more comedic movie and rated it low because it didn't meet those expectations. The ratings should be higher if you ask me. Give this movie a try if you can enjoy unconventional comedy/drama hybrids.

Lizfromcv My husband and I watched this movie with no high expectations and really enjoyed it. It reminded me of a Woody Allen movie, but not as intense. It was comical: There were times when I was laughing so hard, I couldn't hear myself (you know those times). The comedic nuances are what make this script so good. It was dramatic: The issues highlighted are what we all face every day and Ron Howard was excellent in his ability to bring out the actors' strengths in these areas.The script zig-zagged between funny, sad, emotional, funny haha, somber, touching and poignant.I imagine if I had paid big bucks to see this in a theater, I would have been a bit disappointed - and the reason for that is, it's not a fast-paced movie, nor does it have any amazing special effects; nor were people being eaten by zombies or blown away by high-powered rifles.But watching it at home, on a rainy day, with plenty of time to appreciate the subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle humor, as well as the drama, made viewing this movie an enjoyable treat.All the main actors, Jennifer Connelly, Queen Latifah, Kevin James and Channing Tatum were excellent. Vince Vaughn was outstanding - he showed how gifted he is as an actor in this role.Expertly directed by Ron Howard. Not sure if this is a spoiler, but since we own a 2010 Orange Dodge Challenger 6.1 liter w/Hemi (530 hp - modified of course), the classic Dodge Challenger Vince Vaughn's character drove throughout the movie, as well as that "Dodge" was included in the storyline peripherally, was nice.

Jakemcclake If this were marketed as a serious discussion on the boundaries/obligations of friendship and difficulties caused by infidelity, I would say, yeah it pretty much hit the mark, but as a comedy. it left a lot to be desired. Usually, if a comedy is this bad, I mention the music. But I really didn't notice the music. What I noticed was a lot of very angry people and nothing close to funny.One of my college professors once said no conflict/no story. As far as this being a serious drama, this story seems to try to manufacture needless conflict in every relationship it details and fails to make any of this conflict interesting. Jennifer Connelly, Vince Vaughn, Wynona Rider, Channing Tatum, Kevin James, and Ron Howard wasted their talents here, shockingly.
