The Dilemma
Best friends since college Nick (Kevin James) and Ronny (Vince Vaughn) are now developers of a competitive special technology for hybrid cars; the two are thick as thieves and know each other inside and out, or do they? You see, Geneva (Winona Ryder) is Nick’s loving wife, but when Ronny catches her stepping out on her relationship he’s got a dilemma on his hands. If Ronny tells Nick what he’s seen, he risks destroying their business and friendship, all the while his girlfriend, Beth (Jennifer Connelly), is growing suspicious that Ronny is hiding something from her at the same time. But, just how far will the whole situation tip before it tips over?
 So here’s how this all breaks down; you get Vince Vaughn doing what he does best, fast talking and charming, Kevin James does his bumbling buddy/common guy routine and Winona and Jennifer doing a notable job supporting the men– not exactly a stretch for anyone in the ensemble. And, it’s not as though tales of lovers triangles are anything new, so what are we left with? Well, there’s always comedy right? But while the film is being sold as a laugh riot, I’d like to point out the actual film is much more uncomfortable and more of a schadenfreude in it’s delivery. Now, none of this makes the film horrible, or a failure per se; but, it also doesn’t exactly push the envelope or try anything new. Bottom line it’s a matinee at best but more of a rental. The Dilemma is rated PG-13.
