The Dilemma : is about two life long friends and business partners -Ronny and Nick. Ronny has a gambling problem and a fear of commitment but is in a long term relationship with Beth . Nick is married to Geneva .
When they score a deal with General Motors’ Geneva suggests to Ronny that Beth is as good as it gets and he should propose to her . Ronny agrees and tells Nick he got a deal which will allow him to purchase a $20,000 ring for $10,000 .
Ronny wants the perfect proposal and goes to a botanic garden where he sees Geneva kissing another guy . Of course he falls into poisonous plants and concocts a lie when Beth asks him about it . She becomes suspicious when the $10,000 falls out his pocket .
Ronny confronts Geneva and it is revealed they have a history together before she met Nick which they kept a secret from Beth and Nick . Geneva threatens to tell Nick and Beth that Ronny made moves on her and that he is lying, Geneva also says Nick has been neglecting her and visiting massage parlours .
Ronny follows both Nick (where he confirms Nick visits a Vietnamese massage parlour) and Geneva where he sees she and Zip having sex . He takes some pictures for proof to give to Nick but he is caught by Zip after Geneva leaves and a fight ensues .
Ronny gives a very inappropriate speech at Beth’s parents 40th wedding anniversary which makes everyone suspicious .
Nick follows Ronny when he goes at Zip’s to ask for his camera . Zip holds a gun and cries for his fish and demands $10,000. Ronny gives him $1000 which nick sees .
When Ronnie gets home that night there is an intervention as they all assume he has started to gamble again and that Zip is his bookie - Nick , Beth , his sister , Geneva and even zip are all present with a therapist .
All is revealed at the intervention .
The movie is a funny plot - a comedy of errors, and really begs the question what do you do when if you find out a friend’s spouse is cheating?
Queen Latifah has a small but funny role as an alpha female GM executive and Channing Tatum captures Zip’s bad boy with an inner sensitivity perfectly .
Although it is a comedy Jennifer Connelly captures the role well but shows that her genre should really be drama and independent films, the role was too simple for an actress of that standing.
The film is worth seeing .
