The Dilemma / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: This film was advertised as a laugh-out-loud comedy. It does have some hilarious moments, but for the most part, the film is quite dark. | |

The Dilemma / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Things would have been a lot easier for Ronny had he let his own girlfriend in on what was going on between Nick and his wife, or in fact, tell Nick when he gave him the chance. Ronny's behavior would have made more sense. | |

The Dilemma / int_23a79ebf | comment |
Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: Another case of 'Sir Not Appearing On This Poster'. One would not even know that it is an ensemble film with Jennifer Connelly, Winona Ryder, Queen Latifah and Channing Tatum in the cast (instead, the poster just shows Vince Vaughn and Kevin James grinning). | |

The Coconut Effect | |
The Dilemma / int_347fef9a | comment |
The Coconut Effect: In-universe, Ronny's and Nick's job is to work Coconut Effects into products. During the movie, they're making silent electric cars "roar" as if they had loud combustion engines. | |

Author Appeal: Muscle cars, as one subplot revolves around designing an electric car that looks like a muscle car so that it doesn't look... ermmm "gay". | |

Relative Error: Ronny mistakes a man talking to his girlfriend as trying to feel her up but when he confronts them Ronny's girlfriend says that the man is her cousin. And gay. | |

Ugly Guy, Hot Wife | |
The Dilemma / int_bf74d357 | comment |
Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Vince Vaughn and Kevin James are average-looking at best, and both are quite overweight (the latter more so) — but snagged women who look like Jennifer Connelly and Winona Ryder. | |

Felony Misdemeanor | |
The Dilemma / int_c59cfa2e | comment |
Felony Misdemeanor: One "big secret" that Ronny has kept from Nick for years is that he dated Geneva... during college... before Nick and Geneva ever even met. In the crucial scene, the anger is directed toward Ronny, not Geneva, whom Nick is married to. | |
