The Dilemma


Rating: 7
Starring: Vince Vaughn, Kevin James, Jennifer Connelly, Winona Ryder
Genre: Mature Comedy


Vaughn and James are best friends and business partners. They spend lots of time together as a foursome involving James' wife (Ryder) and Vaughn's girlfriend (Connelly.) One day Vaughn happens to see Ryder in a loving embrace with another man. Here's the dilemma -- to tell or not tell James. The movie is build around Vaughn's angst. He ends up doing some dumb things, almost to the point of alienating Connelly.

Going in, I wasn't sure I would like this movie, fearing it would degenerate into mindlessness. But, it ended up being entertaining. A bit over-the-top but annoyingly so.
