The Dilemma starring Kevin James and Vince Vaughn was a big disappointment to me. It's billed as a comedy and I will admit that there are a couple of funny lines (most notably the one you've already seen from the trailer where Vince Vaughn falls into poisonous plants. The doctor tells him that, among other things, it may make urination "challenging." When he cries out from the bathroom, his girl friend (the beautiful Jennifer Conelly) asks him if he's okay and he replies that he is just a little "challenged." LOL).
Unfortunately, the subject matter was far from funny and many of the supposedly humorous scenes were just uncomfortable or pathetic (Vaughn spying on Winona Ryder & Channing Tatum - super uncomfortable, Kevin James at the massage parlor - pathetic, the "intervention" - super uncomfortable and pathetic).
In fact, when a crazed Channing Tatum attacks Vaughn's lovingly restored car, I almost cried. I really expected WAAAAY more from Ron Howard, not to mention the "all-star cast." If I were you, I wouldn't even bother to rent this when it comes out on video and definitely don't go see it on the big screen.
