Leave your thoughts about The Dilemma.
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordA few months back, director Ron Howard started catching flack with GLAAD when trailers for his newest film included Vince Vaughn calling a car 'gay.' He better be prepared for heavy artillery fire when people actually see the whole movie. |
| HitFixDrew McWeenyAs it is, The Dilemma just feels like a big bowl full of ingredients that never makes the jump to a finished recipe. |
| Cleveland Plain DealerClint O'ConnorI realize it's only January, but The Dilemma is already in the running for worst movie of the year. It will be a hard one to top. Or bottom. |
| Tri-City HeraldGary WolcottCatch your best friend's significant other cheating do you confront them? Ignore it? Or like Ron Howard, make your dilemma into a two-hour comedy and name it The Dilemma. |
| ComingSoon.netSilas LesnickShockingly dark, the focus of "The Dilemma" is less about cheap laughs and more about the absurd humor of existential loneliness. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyDirector Ron Howard and the gifted actors are defeated by a misguided film, which suffers from identity crisis, disappointing as a male buddy comedy and/or more serious account of the nature and limitations of friendhsip. |
| Kansas City StarRobert W. ButlerThis excruciating exercise in indecision sometimes feels like a glum comedy, sometimes like a silly drama. But it never, ever achieves anything like a coherent, consistent tone. |
| New York PostKyle SmithThe movie is much like a really long beer commercial - but a really dark one. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary Thompson"The Dilemma" doesn't have the nerve to explore the movie's downbeat soul, and settles for cheese and slapstick. |
