Now Playing Review – The Dilemma

The Dilemma is aptly named for what takes place during these 2 hours of movie time.  I know what you’re thinking: “What!? A movie title that somehow represents the movie itself!? That’s unheard of!”  Shh… I bat your sarcasm away.  Yes, the film is named for the obvious dilemma in the plot itself, but unfortunately the film is marred by the other dilemmas that occurred on the filmmaking end, creating a pretty mediocre end result.

So here’s the obvious: girl and guy codes aside, when you see the significant other of your best friend cheating on them should you or should you not tell them? This is the question that Ronny faces when he sees Nick’s wife with another man, and though he wants to tell him, plenty of variables get thrown into the mix making it harder for Ronny to just come out and break the bad news.

Review: The Dilemma

The Dilemma is a bit all over the place and doesn’t really know what it wants to be and unfortunately doesn’t embrace the dark side of the film that is kind of interesting.

The film follows a pair of friends/business partners that are have an unsuspecting wrench thrown in their relationship when one of them sees the other’s significant other with another man.  This proves difficult for the one who saw the adultery, Ronny, as he doesn’t know how to break the news to his buddy, Nick.  To compound the problem even further, Ronny, doesn’t know what to do with his own girlfriend as Nick and his cheating wife, Geneva, had been pressuring him to pop the question before all these adultery issues arose.  Ronny begins to sneak around after Geneva and when he finally confronts her a war of secrets begins to unfold.

The Dilemma Trailer – A film about one of the trickiest questions ever: whether or not to tell a best friend if their significant other is cheating on them.  Something tells me that it is going to be a much more entertaining experience when Vince Vaughn and Kevin James are involved.
