So I knew that Kevin James made good enough friends with Adam Sandler and Vince Vaughn to find himself spots in each of their respective comedy crews (lucky guy!). I also knew James and Vaughn’s next comedy would be The Dilemma, in which Vaughn discovers that best friend James’ wife is cheating on him. What I did not know until I viewed the latest trailer, however, was that Ron Howard would be directing the film. Really?
I’m only surprised because Howard hasn’t directed a comedy feature since Ed TV (unless you count How The Grinch Stole Christmas… but I wouldn’t). I’m not saying it’s necessarily a bad thing… I’m just surprised.
As for the trailer… I’m in the “wait and see” mode. I can see the film’s set-up very easily and I can guess the resolution, but what happens in between that will hold my interest is up in the air for me. It’s a great concept because it’s not really a storyline for a comedy, but will it stay funny for ninety minutes?
The film also features Queen Latifah, Winona Ryder, Jennifer Connelly and Channing Tatum in supporting roles.
Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think!
