The Dilemma [M]

Ronny and Nick are as close as any best friends, but when Ronny witnesses Nick’s wife cheating on him, the solid foundation of their friendship is severely shaken. Now Ronny is torn between two choices: tell Nick and break his heart or let ignorance be bliss? 

Well that was crap. I love Vince Vaughn and I like Kevin James, but seriously this was stupid, pointless, mundane, and just crap. 

Ronny and Nick are as close as best friends can be, but when Ronny witnesses Nick’s wife cheating on him, the solid foundation of their friendship is severely shaken. As Ronny battles with himself, weighing the pros and cons of telling Nick the truth or leaving him in the dark, his distant behaviour begins to effect his and Nick’s major work venture, his own relationship, and his trust in practically everyone around him. 

Ok, I’ll admit that the story had some potential, not a mass amount, but definitely some. However, I really don’t think that the dilemma of deciding whether or not to tell someone something like this is such a strong scenario to make a feature film about. I appreciate the whole digging-a-rut-for-yourself comedy, and I do think that Vince Vaughn did very well in this film, particularly his rather funny psychotic episodes, but ultimately this movie did absolutely nothing for me. 

All the performances were rather subdued, although Vince Vaughn did redeem the film briefly with his aggressive and violent breakdown. 

I’m sorry, but I really cannot think of a positive thing to say. I mean, it wasn’t really a bad movie it was just there. There was no real heart to it, there was no strong chemistry between the leads, the entire thing just didn’t radiate any vibes at all, it was just blank. 

Starring Vince Vaughn, Kevin James, Jennifer Connelly, Clint Howard, Queen Latifah, Winona Ryder, and Channing Tatum, The Dilemma was a blank and pointless film that had a slightly potential story and was filled with all kinds of conflict, comedy, an alright brawl, and romance. It wasn’t a bad film, but doesn’t qualify as an ok one either.
