‘The Dilemma’ (2) Add to Vince Vaughn’s canon of gonzo enthusiasm the blissful image of him using a makeshift blowtorch on a suburban block, screaming, “I’m going to burn your face off!” His act maybe isn’t as fresh as it once was, but Vaughn still puts a charge into movies. Ron Howard’s comedy begins and ends in hokey cliche, but for a brief period in the middle, it carries a slight hint of Billy Wilder, playing uncomfortable stuff for not entirely dumb laughs. Chicago engineers and buddies Ronny Valentine (Vaughn) and Nick Brannen (Kevin James) each have long-term partners: Ronny’s girlfriend, Beth (Jennifer Connelly), and Nick’s wife, Geneva (Winona Ryder). After Ronny sees Geneva cheating on Nick with another man (Channing Tatum), he descends into a world of infidelity where seemingly everyone is cheating. PG-13 for mature thematic elements involving sexual content. 110 minutes.
