DILEMMA (2011) 3/5 Stars

"Will you tell your best friend if you saw his wife cheating with another man?"

That is the biggest question where this movie is build around.

Ronny (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Kevin James) has been best friends for many years since college and they have been through a lot of things together. They even have a business together in automotive field. One day Ronny settled a meeting for the their company.

The head of the company likes their idea of a futuristic electric car with the sound of  a classic dodge charger, and thus they are in a middle of closing a major deal with Chrysler supervised by Susan (Queen Latifah)
All they need to do is making sure that the engine they are selling could work. And Nick has to finalize it in order for them to close the deal.

While all the stress are downing on them, the big dilemma come to hit them on the face. Ronny's face that is.
Ronny was having another big thing that he's planning on doing after they close the deal with Chrysler. Ronny is planning to marry his long time girlfriend Beth (Jennifer Conelly) after being cornered by Geneva (Winona Ryder), Nick's wife at one of their couples outing. When he is searching for a place to do the proposal, he happens to accidentally caught Geneva cheating with another man (Channing Tatum)
And so Ronny is now caught in the dilemma of choosing whether he should tell Nick (putting their deal in the line) or stay quite and just tell him after they got the deal.

This movie is quite entertaining.

Vince Vaugh appear desperate as a best friend with a big dilemma.

Kevin James looks as if he's gonna get a stroke at any given moment.

Winona Ryder, oh my gosh, I thought she look different nowadays. Still she is top notch in playing the part of a psychotic cheating wife.

Jennifer Connelly is sweet as usual.

A notable appearance by Channing Tatum as Zip.

Here is a good line from the movie that is pretty nicely written:
  • Zip : "It takes two. And You know it!" (about cheating with Geneva)
  • Ronny: "Yes, Not Three!" (about Marriage)
  • Zip: "Get out of here!" *sobs*

It is a decent choice when you have free time on a Saturday Night.
