Nope.
No dilemma whatsoever.

This is the first Ron Howard movie I've ever hated, and I can't for the life of me figure out why he would have directed it. There's NOTHING special about it at all. It's not even a comedy, something it seems to be billed as specifically. It's a lot of yelling and general unpleasantness, much like Vaughn's THE BREAK UP. I mean, when Kevin James is the least irritating thing in your movie, you know something's up.
Also, HOW DARE VINCE VAUGHN GET TO MAKE OUT WITH JENNIFER CONNELLY! :(

I legitimately cannot be fucked writing a review of this cinematic obscenity, so I will relegate its moral and ethical worth in the world of film to the fact its title is an anagram of "Melt Ham Die."

I thought Vince Vaughn was looking rough these days, but DAMN what happened to Jon Favreau?!
-
The real dilemma is that people are allowed to release such stupidity.

Vince Vaughn is always fun to watch playing that one character he does and it is good to see Winona Ryder again. They play off each other well. And that would be the end of my enjoyment.

Was this Ron Howard's hand at comedy? Fail, the slight rise from the left corner of my mouth does not exactly scream, well it doesn't scream.
It feels more like a very lite on drama sitting behind a very thin 'comedy' veil, here lies the dilemma.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Half a star for every time a song by 'The Black Keys' was used.

Tarina miesten välisestä ystävyydestä. Ei silleen homolla tavalla. Siitä huolimatta, tai juuri siitä syystä, paska pätkä.

How can you correctly handle a movie that deals with infidelity and addictions with comedy? You can't. A film that can never find it's footing, it's difficult to describe how aggravating the plot, characters, and themes mesh. Every character is so misplaced, save for Jennifer Connelly, that the jokes aren't delivered well, the drama is forced, and the balance is so uneven it's excruciating. Do not watch this film, even for Ron Howard.

I hate Kevin James, but he was tolerable. I'm a homer, so I'll watch anything Vince Vaugh does based on the fact that he likes the same Chicago Sports Teams that I do. Story is fine. Acting is decent. Chicago is well represented. I liked it, but it's nothing great by any means.

Good film worth the watch. Funny too.

Quite like this one. If you take it as a drama it works better. Saying that, if its meant to be a comedy its fairly terrible. Dont think it is though....or is it!

A movie that demonstrates Ron Howard's competence and unoriginality, is full of weird moments, and is completely stolen by Channing Tatum.
