Watch The Dilemma For Free

Too much of everything

It is a performances centric movie

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I gave this movie a spin on a lazy Saturday Morning expecting the bare minimum level of entertainment, like watching Entourage, its currently playing in front of me and moves my needle zero pts above or below the line of demarcation.Good lord this film is absolutely horrendous. I would label this movie a comedy as I believe the attempt was to be funny. However, EVERY scene involving Vince Vaughn (oh wait thats 100% of the movie) drags on endlessly as he regurgitates his overplayed schtick and tired troupes that we've seen in, seemingly, 79 different movies. Someone greenlt him to extend every scene 5-15 minutes too long, with each ending in a blathering monologue from Vince where he uses phrases and facial expressions that he thinks are staples in the American lexicon (and all sound vaguely familiar) but draw little to no reaction at this point. *The worst offenses being a) scene he and Channing Tatum purport about 1/2 way through the movie that should wrap in about 7 minutes but takes up ~25 minutes due to the repetitive overused character schticks that each actor drones on an extra 2 minutes too long every single time they have a line. b) A toast Vince gives in front of his girlfriend's family (who hes never met even though they've been together for at least 2.5 years- a deduction I made using clues sprinkled throughout the movie) where he hisses at everyone else in the room at least twice (these take a LONG time) and very quickly gets you thinking "man this guys just a dick and wouldn't make it in real life" rather than "oh hes sooo snarky and mean that its funny!"Kevin James is barely in the movie and offers nothing when he is. Whynona Rider's acting is, as usual, not good. Channing Tatum plays a character we've now seen him play in 33 different films. This review droned on just as long as this movie does. I gave it two stars because I smiled at some point in the movie, although I can't remember when or why. This movie was 2 minutes shy of 2 hours and could have been 50 minutes and left you with the same story and content.

(Plot) A man finds out that his best friend's wife is having an affair behind his back, and will do anything to uncover the truth. The only thing that truly stuck out about this movie was Channing Tatum's hilarious cameo. Other than that, this movie was exactly how I pictured it was going to be; completely mediocre with very little laughs or fun. How is it that the extremely talented and luscious Jennifer Connelly is in this movie? Its way out of her league, and it was so disappointing to see her waste her talents in this. Same goes for Winona Ryder, even if her career has faltered a bit. I can't stand Kevin James, and I dislike Vince Vaughn. I gave this a chance, hoping I might end up being proved wrong. It turns out my gut instincts were right on this one. It's crude, unfunny, and a film that shows nothing but contempt for its audience. It truly makes me sad that movies like this get released often these days and make copious amounts at the box office. Except this one wasn't so lucky… It bombed somewhat, making only 48 Million.Final Thoughts: If it shows contempt for its intended audience, why not show nothing but contempt back for it? I'm easily amused, and it still didn't get the job done. Not recommended3.5/10

The DilemmaWhen I heard of this movie, I expected to laugh. Barring a couple of scenes, this movie was pretty dark and sensitive. Then I saw Ron Howards name and I was like, was this the same guy who made the Da Vinci Code and Cinderella Man?Vince Vaughan plays a man who is about to get married, but he sees his best friends wife kissing another dude. Should he tell him or not?The Pluses: The cast and the director, some humor able scenes The Minuses: not a comedy, and too sensitive.Overall the Dilemma was a time passer. i guess we tend overlook these things but I did appreciate the fact that it did not downplay the concept of adultery. 7/10

Insipidly torpid or torpidly insipid; henceforth lies the only worthwhile and minimally logical dilemma to dwell upon for a large portion of this painfully indecisive film. Immediately from the start, we are set waiting to blow out in laughter at any moment given the star-studded cast in The Dilemma and their presumed talent to come through for us comically by skillfully interweaving their innate abilities with some of the scripted out jokes. Sadly enough the contagious, wishy- washy habit of this movie has us also questioning when and where exactly would be the appropriate moment to pitifully squeeze in a feigned smile or at least some signs of facial movement just out of cordiality. Another, unexpected dilemma to deal with it seems. Already it appears that the audience has to face more dilemmas than Ronny Valentine (Vince Vaughn) himself. The severity needed to enthrall viewers amidst the decision of whether or not to inform a lifelong peer that he is being cheated on by his wife is nowhere to be found given the screamingly evident course of action to righteously break an already snapped relationship. Condemning a friend for revealing the truth that works to improve his life hardly feels like a reason at all for the observed tension that follows towards the end between best buddies. Therefore, at a certain point early on we just stop caring if Ronny uncovers this "ultimate secret" or not. Realistically, not much changes. Overall, the absence of laughs and any suspense at all are already strong and clear indicators of which side to pick amidst the dilemma of watching or skipping this film.
