Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Mr Black I really enjoyed this movie. Not really a comedy, more of comedy drama. The performances all around really were terrific. Especially Vince Vaughan, Kevin James and Winona Ryder. I'm a huge Winona fan and enjoyed seeing her in this. I think over all the best part of this film was the direction and photography. It was really spectacular and showed a very high level of skill from director Ron Howard and his director of photograph. Very well done. This is a film with a story - no explosions, no special effects - a rarity in this day and age when audiences require ten deaths, 20 explosions and some kind of digital enhancement to be happy. A person who truly knows what film is about, and I'm not talking desk jockey film critics that appear in newspapers, will really know how good this film is.
Davis P The Dilemma starring Vince Vaughn and Kevin James is actually to my surprise, pretty entertaining. The acting is good, especially from Winona Ryder and Jennifer Connelly, and even Queen Latifah, the cast all showed good acting chops here. Winona Ryder really played her character well, and i thoroughly enjoyed her on par performance. Channing Tatum did what he had to do here, nothing all too special to be honest, he is hot, a scumbag, and is here for comical relief, even though I didn't really find him that funny here. I did find Queen Latifah's lines of dialogue kinda funny though...... "I wanna have sex with to' words" and "I wanna bang your brain". The mens reactions to her saying these lines is what Makes for a good laugh. Connelly gives a good strong performance here as Vaughn's girlfriend. The drama bits really is well acted and well written, there is some raw emotion and feeling In those heavy/dramatic scenes. So all in all, not hilarious or the best I've seen, but I think with a mixture of good actors, good writing, and solid performances, you will end up having a fun time with The Dilemma. 7/10.
SnoopyStyle Ronny Valentine (Vince Vaughn) is Nick Brannen's (Kevin James) best friend from college and partner in their own auto design firm. Ronny has girlfriend Beth (Jennifer Connelly), and Nick is happily married to Geneva (Winona Ryder). Then Ronny spies Geneva making out with another man.This is probably the worst Ron Howard movie I've ever seen. I don't know what the original intention was. Is cheating in a marriage really slapstick comedy material? Vince Vaughn and Kevin James could be a funny team in another movie. I just can't tell as I worry about what's going on in that marriage. If you're making fun of this material, you'd have to go dark. Neither guy is that great at dark comedies and Ron Howard is the last person to direct that.
admcdow I didn't hate this movie. It had good moments but honestly I didn't know it was a comedy until I looked the movie up maybe 90% of the way through it. Then it became obvious...FORCED COMEDY. I think I laughed out loud once, when Channing Tatum's character told Vince Vaughn's character "drive safe". THAT was hilarious. Overall this movie was a full meal...full of corn, cheese and sap. I really believe that if they went the route of a true drama it could've been a good movie with some funny moments instead of forced comedy & corny, cheesy, sappy drama. Most of the moments with Channing Tatum's character were utterly ridiculous. I can't count how many times I cringed & said to myself "this is stupid" during the fight scene. But I'm writing this review for a reason. In a small way, I enjoyed it. Heck I watched it all the way through. The final scene was good, though definitely corny, cheesy AND sappy. I liked Jennifer Connelly. Was she the stubborn chick in Bad Boys? Anyway, I liked it...a little bit, and I can't really explain why.
