Granted, I haven’t been a Vince Vaughn fan in quite some time. Right around the time when he started gaining a lot of weight, losing his hair, and doing really stupid movies. But what the hell is Oscar-winning director Ron Howard thinking with this steaming pile of dung? Below is the trailer for the new “comedy” The Dilemma. These seems like a fake trailer that would be put in one of those spoof movies, like How To Lose The Break-Up Because He’s Just Not That Into You. The premise: does one dude tell his best bud that his wife is cheating on him. This could be a film about morality and ethics and it could have easily swung to drama. Instead, it looks like Ron Howard just took a really idiotic premise that wasn’t even enough for a 20 minute film, and filled it with poop jokes and gay jokes. WTF?
Why for the love of God would you start your trailer with one of the worst bits in the film (I’m assuming, but I guess the “Electric cars are gay” bit could be one of the highlights…)? And what the f-ck is Latifah doing in this junk? Over the weekend I just watched Latifah in a really underrated, sweet little rom-com called Just Wright. It was adorable! Latifah is so much better than playing second fiddle to Vince’s gut and whatever Kevin James is doing in this crapfest. But really, you could say that about all of the ladies – Jennifer Connelly? FOR REAL? And Winona Ryder?!? I mean, I kind of get the Winona thing, she’s at the point where she’s just taking what’s she’s being offered. But Connelly… did Ron Howard help her dispose of a hobo’s body or something?
And finally, a lament for Vince Vaughn. Who ever thought when they saw Swingers for the first time that Vince would end up a fat balding douche making an endless stream of mainstream comedies in which the real star is the endless supply of poop jokes? Vaughn was supposed to be the big breakout actor, remember? He was supposed to be, like, the next Tom Hanks or something. I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by poop jokes, bloated, dumb.

Well, I’m not THAT offended by it, but it does look stupid. And I do have to wonder what Jennifer Connelly is doing in a juvenile comedy. She has more talent in her little finger than all the other actors put together. I guess she has some bills to pay…?

He has the worst nose job ever.

Why does Vince Vaughn always look so startled and sweaty and confused, even at premieres? Like someone shaved a bear and stuck it in a suit, and the flashbulbs start flashing just as the tranquiliser dart wears off?
Also: poor Winona. I so wanted to be her, when I was growing up. Scorsese’s a long time calling back now, isn’t he?

Why is Vince a douche? I think he is awesome and funny. Now I saw Swingers way after I have been watching him as the chubby Vince and I was like why did that Vince have to leave. However I still find him somewhat attractive because he seems to have a cool personality. Awful pics of him, the first one made me LMAO.
The movie doesn’t look horrible to me but its not a must see. The reason why all these amazing talented people like Jennifer C and Winona Ryder are in it is because it has an Oscar winning director. Doubt they would have done it if it wasn’t an Ron Howard movie. I think Kevin James and Queen Latifah look funny in it. Kevin James never fails to make me laugh.

He looks like he’s been detroyed by alcohol and/or some other drug. He looks so gross.

meh – not offensive, just dumb. latifah looks like the only bright spot in this hot mess. i can’t hate on vince, though, mainly because i loved “swingers.” my friends and i still say “you’re so money!” to this day.
yes, we are a big bunch of nerds.

When did his nose get so small? And what happened to his chin?

Any movie with Kevin James is destined to be a failure! I mean, come on, Paul Blart: Mall Cop!
As for the movie as a whole, there are movies that look way worse than this one. Paul Blart:Mall Cop.
I, however, will not be seeing this until it is the only thing on HBO one night that I haven’t seen. Paul Blart:Mall Cop

Didn’t Howard direct A Beautiful Mind? I think him and Connelly probably formed a friendship there or something. Although she hasn’t made a successful movie in a while, has she?

I’ve heard that Ron Howard gets around pretty good, himself.
That’s been kept very quiet, if it’s true.

Completely agree when you think of Vaughn in Swingers – He was so friggin’ hot and amazing in it. My tolerance point ended with Wedding Crashers – loved it but time to be done with that character. Looks like laziness results in this kind of crap. He always looks like he needs to take a huge dump in pics too. He should be friggin grateful there’s enough stupidity out there so he can continue to work.

It doesn’t look like his best, but despite his recent puffiness, I am still a Vince Vaughn fan and also a fan of juvenile goofy comedies, so I’ll definitely be checking this out.
@ MPovich: Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. I tried to watch “Couples Retreat” I think about 4 times (?) and it never held my attention. Total suckage.
I guess we’ll see how this new one is.

Sadly, Paul Blart: Mall Cop made around 150 million at the box office.
Couples Retreat also made bank.
Childish, dumb movies are money. And all these actors obviously need some moola for their drug addictions, or to support their mistresses, or something or other???

@Lenore – Hahaha, that’s exactly what he looks like! Spot on description. Hard to believe he’s the same guy that was in Swingers. Thanks for the laugh!

I hate (really) Ron Howard and his movies, IMO he’s one of the most overrated directors ever. His movies are so… didascalici (can’t find the right translation for this word), so full of “see how deep are the characters I’m filming, see the sad perspective of life I’m putting in this story” that he almost makes me want to puke everytime I unfortunately happen to watch his works.
Vince Vaughn, is he funny? Nope. Is he a good actor? Nope. He/was he good looking? Nope.
Last question: why two (Latifah and Connelly) of the most talented and underrated actress of the last two decades are in a stupid movie like this?

I had such a WTF moment when I saw Opie in the video for Blame It (on the alcohol).
And why would any of them think it was okay to use the word “gay” in such a way?
I guess it says a lot that the film is being released in January. Isn’t that the traditional dumping ground for shitty movies?

To defend Ron Howard he is partially responsible for Arrested Development I will forgive alot for that one reason but this movie looks awful.

Sigh…I liked Ron Howard’s Splash and am a fan of Arrested Development so I was hoping this would turn out well. Guess not.

I bet JC appears because RH directed her hubby in The Davinci Code. He probably asked her if she was interested during a dinner party in which they both had a little too much wine. Whoops, just read through the comments. I forgot about A Beautiful Mind…

Ah this is why I read this site; Lenore’s description of VV is priceless; I can’t top it and won’t try; but WTF Paul Blart Mall Cop made 150 million; you’re kidding right. The trailers made it look like it was written by kindergarten kids with used crayolas; like many on this site I think I’ve wasted my college education when I read about how much Paul Blart Mall cop brought in.

He is an example of certain actresses.. stuck playing the same character over and over.. Take any character Vince has played and you can swap them in any film and nothing would change. I love is dry humor, but IT has been done over and over. he needs to do more. Falling in the realm of Jim Carrey who kind of got stuck as the “face man”.
All these stupid rom coms and they just keep coming. Someone is seeing them..
and who ever the hell you are..STOP IT!!

i LOVED Just Wright!!!! It was SERIOUSLY underrated, and so were the actors in it (Queen Latifah, Common, Paula Patton). Queen Latifah can really act her butt off, but she does do a lot of ho-hum roles like this one…I guess she has bills to pay too. Or she’s bored.
These previews made me chuckle once or twice, but it doesn’t look any better than other ho-hum comedies, or any worse.

The comments here are tons funnier than that movie could EVER be. A shaved bear?!? Lenore! I’m howling out here!
I know we like to look down our collective noses at “stupid” movies and how could anybody pay good money to see such drivel. Then I remember the first time I watched “Blazing Saddles” back in the stone age. Who knows….maybe thirty years from now Vince Vaughn may be considered the comic actor of his generation. Stranger things have happened. Hell, they can teach squirrels to water ski (also funnier than this movie) so I am convinced anything is possible.

What does Clint Howard have on his brother that he always gets a part in his movies no matter what? Is it some kind of Mayberry/Gentle Ben payback?

Vince looks old enough to be his wife’s dad and looks bloated enough to play Elvis just before he croaked. He promised so much in Swingers and Clay Pigeons and then threw it away to star in multiplex fluff.
