The Dilemma stars Vince Vaughn and Kevin James as best friends in a film that will leave countless audiences wondering which star will take their top off first. As is normally the case, Kevin James is the first to happily oblige. While the preview doesn't depict Kevin James sans shirt, we can only assume that this is partially what caused his wife in the film, played by Winona Ryder, to ultimately wind up in the arms (and bed) of another man.

The film ultimately comes down to guy code. Should Vince's character tell his best friend about his wife's infidelities? The fact of the matter is that he should, but doesn't because that news is tough to break to anyone, let alone your best friend. The struggle makes him turn into a private investigator to come up with the damming evidence needed to prove the adultery. Why would Vince go through the P.I. work when he'd still have to tell his friend about the affair? We're left to assume that he either gets turned on by looking at dirty pics or that he'll leave the pictures on his friend's windshield anonymously. We'll let you decide between the two.

Fearless Prediction: Kevin's character at some point assumes that his wife is having an affair with Vince's character. This leads to the classic non-trust situation that we see between friends any many of these films. But the big twist is that Vince finds out that his best friend is actually sleeping with his wife, and he would have known it sooner if he hadn't been so busy spying on his best friend's wife.

Predictive Score: 3 out of 5

Opens: 1/14/11

Rating: PG-13

Note: Predictive score is based upon how good we feel the movie will be. The Fearless Prediction is our prediction on what will happen in the movie, but not necessarily what will occur.
