And once again Vince Vaughn is in the leading role of a comedy about relationships. Now, while I won’t mind if Vince starts diversifying his characters and/or movie genres a bit (Return to Paradise was a great drama and in Domestic Disturbance he was the villain), I really don’t have anything against him playing the witty, funny and a little silly best friend/career guy. He made it a trademark and while it has become familiar, to a Vaugn fan (and I am one), it still works.

As opposed to the other directors/writers Vince Vaughn has worked with (himself and pal/Iron Man Series director Jon Favreau included), this time we have Ron Howard in the director’s seat and Allan Loeb has written the script..

It is interesting to see Ron Howard directing a trademark Vince Vaughn/ Kevin James film. Kevin James also seems to play the good-natured, fun-loving, family man over and over again (King of Queens, I Now Pronounce you Chuck and Larry). Let’s remember some of Ron’s work: Ransom, A Beautiful Mind, The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, Apollo 13, Far and Away…

Ron loves action/thriller elements, big budgets and even when he is directing a drama, he usually picks some epic and/or psychologically intense elements. So his current pick – a girl-friendly guy flick (or a guy friendly chick flick- The Dilemma seems to be a unisex result) did catch me a little off guard.

Allan Loeb is a great writer. I definitely adored his script for 21, and now that I know he penned Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, I am tempted to see it. But as it turns out, Loeb likes romantic dramas and comedies as well, since he wrote The Dilemma as well as Jennifer Aniston’s latest romcom The Switch. While none of these storylines and concepts seem as original and intriguing as 21, I should see the movies first before commenting.

And of course the cast includes three more impressive names: Jennifer Connelly – who happens to be one of my favorite actresses, Winona Ryder – an actress to be familiar with if you spent some time in the 90s and the current popular hunk Channing Tatum who you might remember from the fun dance movies Step-Up and Step Up 2. There is also Queen Latifah in a comedic supporting role.

The story is not as impressive as the cast and the crew but it seems fun and harmless enough:

Vince Vaughn’s character Ronny Valentine is best friends and colleagues with Isaac Backman (Kevin James). They hang out as couples – Ronny’s plus 1 is played by Jennifer Connelly and Winona Ryder plays Isaac’s wife Geneva. This perfect arrangement is ruined however when Ronny realizes that Geneva is cheating on his buddy Isaac, with a younger, fitter and a hotter guy (Channing Tatum). This results in Ronny having the ultimate dilemma: Should he tell Isaac? Or should he just keep it shut?
