Post here if you Liked/Loved this movie!


I'm really sad to see how low a rating The Dilemma got (lower than Little Fockers, seriously guys? That movie was crap in a basket). I thought this movie was funny, with great characters who acted and reacted (for the most part) like an actual person would in this situation. I liked how it was directed, and my friends and I quote this movie because we thought it was good. Vince Vaughn, awesome, I felt so bad for him. Jennifer Connelly, beautiful! I have a serious lady crush on her! This movie was good I thought, sucks that not many people did.

It's great you liked it, but I got bored watching it! Slowly paced, dragged-out scenes, hardly any laughs worth a snicker, not-very-likeable characters, 20 minutes too long, Queen Latifah was hardly used (ditto Jennifer Connelly and Winona Ryder)! I could go on but I won't.

At least Little Fockers tried to be funny (though failed terribly). This movie's Dilemma is that they couldn't figure out what they wanted; it needed a rewrite badly!

Actually telling the movie from Winona's character's point of view would have been much better since she was the best part!

I personally, loved every single moment of it! Hilarious, nicely-paced, and some great meaningful moments! I saw it with my mom, and she loved just as much as I do!

I liked it.. my theater was wall to wall!

I enjoyed it too. I think the problem is people excepted it to be exceptional seeing as some pretty big names were involved. Its worth seeing anyway!

I liked this movie! Your assessment is right, their reactions were realistic and not wildly exaggerated. It had a lot of laugh out loud moments, too (though not as much as I initially expected). I was satisfied as a movie goer and I fully intend to buy it on DVD.

Ugh, I don't care for those Focker movies at all. First one wasn't funny and I learned my lesson, I have no desire to watch the sequels.

I liked this movie, but it was very uneven. Plus it was surprisingly darker than the trailer made it out to be. Still it was much better than Vince Vaughn's last two films. Plus the film is better than its imdb score would indicate. I think its worth a matinée.

A flawed film but I loved it. I was suprised by the amount of dark comedy but thats what made me enjoy it.

jennifer connelly did well. The emotional scenes with her felt really real.

Jungles LOVED this movie.

What a pathetic joke of a rating.

You guys think you are so cool.

Loved it. I didn't really start laughing until the scene with Tatum and Vaughn (fire face), but after that there were moments when I could not stop laughing.

I was surprised, like others, that the trailer was so deceitful. It really made this out to be a a slapstick comedy, but I kind of like that it was more dramatic with hints of comedy thrown in. It was definitely a surprising new genre of film (not black, but not slapstick, but not exactly in between either).

Then again I wonder how many of us wouldn't have been surprised if we had known that it was a drama? The trailer and then names like Vaughn and James conjure up slapstick. Very misleading. That's probably why the movie didn't/isn't doing so well.

I didn't love it, but I liked it. I laughed a few times and was pleased with the ending.

My only problem is they pretended Kevin James had no fault. I dont blame his wife!

I liked it. It kept me interested, I think it's a decent movie and although it has some flaws (like the fact that Kevin James's character's cheating sort of gets overlooked), it doesn't deserve the hate that it gets. Though I felt that Jennifer Connelly was way underused. I was hoping she'd get a bigger or more interesting role. Though she gave a good performance with what material she was given.

A reason people hate the film because they weren't getting what they were expecting, it was marketed as a comedy, when in fact it's a drama.

Winona Ryder was fantastic in this! Worth watching just for her great performance!!
