The Dilemma Trailer
What would you do if you witnessed your best friend's wife cheating on him with a much younger man in a simulated jungle? You'd tell him, right? But what if that wife was blackmailing you, by threatening to tell your friend that you were the one making passes at her? This is the basic premise of "The Dilemma." I think if it were rewritten and re-casted, this train wreck of a film would actually have a chance. There are only so many times when I can watch Kevin James acting like a buffoon before I just can't take it anymore. Winona Ryder is a has been, and I can not even look at her without picturing her mug shot. She should've just stopped after Edward Scissorhands. The fact that her character was the supposed evil villain was more comical than anything else. Vince Vaughn was actually kind of touching, though. It was refreshing to see him play a character that has substance beyond just being a womanizer. Beyond that, the story was rather flat, and predictable. I found myself zoning out throughout the entire movie, thinking about all of the other movies I could be watching instead. The climax of the movie finally came in the last twenty minutes, but at that point, it was far too late to be saved. Ron Howard, I'm disappointed in you. You've won an Oscar for Directing (for "A Beautiful Mind"), and somehow manage to direct this bullshit. You can, and have done better.
