USAToday has first look at Vince Vaughn’s ‘Dilemma’
Winona Ryder, Jennifer Connelly, Vince Vaughn and Kevin James in 'The Dilemma'
USAToday’s Susan Wloszczyna (a friend of the site) has the first look at Vince Vaughn’s January comedy, The Dilemma, from Oscar-winning director Ron Howard. In the film, Vaughn’s character begins to believe that his best friend’s (Kevin James) wife (Winona Ryder) might be cheating on him.
Further complicating things is what’s at stake: Vaughn and James run a business together and their spouses (Jennifer Connelly and Ryder, respectively) are also best friends. While the film (once again set in Vince’s hometown of Chicago) clearly has a dark subject matter similar to The Break-Up, the article promises comedic elements to please fans of Vaughn (his usual improvises riffs) and James (including dancing on the Jumbotron at a Blackhawks game.)
Universal Pictures currently has The Dilemma scheduled to open on January 14th, 2010, the same day Sony has The Green Hornet rolling into theaters. There’s a cheap pun to be made there which I’m sure all box office articles will abuse.
Looking forward to seeing James and Vaughn together. Maybe next we’ll get Sandler and Ferrell!
Nice job on predicting the pun…
I thought the original name “Cheaters” was better
Sandler and Ferrell would be interesting. Unfortunately, Sandler seems rather rigid in terms of what movies he makes, who he works with (in terms of males more than females since it’s same guys and different girls pretty much each time), and how much he gets paid.
Anyway, I haven’t cared much for Vince Vaughn since The Break-Up, but I’m looking forward to this.
If Winona Ryder is important in this movie I ain’t seeing it because she is an evil shop lifter.
Vaughn rocks!
Really, Jessi? You’re really going there?
We want our actors to be good role models this is what I like about the frat pack they are good role models. Winona Ryder and Channing Tatum who are in the Dilemma are bad role models he used to be a stripper and Winona Ryder shoplifted. I am an aspiring actress who wanted to be a good role model but doesn’t seem boring like the disney channel stars. I would love to be in a film with a lot of actors covered on this site.
I wouldnt call anyone from the Frat Pack good role models for what I’m considering the suject at matter being kids they apply themselves to an adult crowd.
I’m curious as to how Kevin James landed Winona Ryder in the movie to begin with.
Kevin James with glasses reminds me of Kevin James from Hitch.
For a short time the title was What You Don’t Know. I think I liked that one more than the new title, but I don’t care what they call it I’m just hoping it turns out good. Haven’t seen anything with Kevin James (couldn’t make it through Hitch so that doesn’t count) and I’m curious to see what Winona Ryder brings to the film given that she beat out several other actresses for the role during auditions.
Jessi, people make mistakes and if you are an aspring actress you will learn this one day that living in a fishbowl you will find it hard to live up to the expectations people have of you. Celebrity is different today then what it was even just 5 years ago. Especially in the light of something like mental illnesses. We don’t know what happened with Winona or even Owen Wilson, but it’s not our place to judge these people and what they have been through. As long as they don’t drive drunk, drive the wrong way on the freeway and basically endanger other peoples lives then it’s nothing more than just fodder for gossip.
Winona keeps to herself and isn’t parading around in the tabloids and the paparazzi like the new generation of brats so you have to hand it to her. Just like Robert Downey Jr got his life back together and has been given another chance it’s only fair to do the same for Winona. Everyone deserves another chance….even those in the public eye….and to deny this for someone says more about you than it does about what they did.
As for the movie, I liked the original title too but maybe they are trying to find a title that’s easier to market since movie titles that are more different can be the kiss of death for a movie IMO.
What Owen Wilson and Robert Downey jr. did is not as bad compared to what Winona did.
I think they changed the title since it sounded too much like James L. Brooks’ How Do You Know.
And Jessi, do you honestly believe Winona didn’t learn from the error of her ways? Surely you’d understand that every actor in Hollywood has their flaws.
And no offense to Robert Downey, Jr. at all since I’m a great admirer of his work, but drug abuse is usually considered a worse offense than simple shoplifting.
