The Dilemma 2011

Ronny and Nick, portrayed by Kevin James and Vince Vaughn respectively, are the closest of friends and partners in a Chicago-based auto design firm. Ronny is in a committed relationship with his girlfriend Beth, while Nick is happily married to Geneva. They find themselves on the brink of an exciting opportunity to pitch a groundbreaking eco-friendly car to Dodge.

During a visit to the beautiful botanical gardens, where Ronny plans to propose to Beth, he unexpectedly witnesses Geneva sharing a kiss with a man named Zip. Disturbed by the sight, he returns home, choosing to conceal the truth from Beth, which only makes her worry that the stresses at work are reawakening his long-buried gambling addiction.

Determined to reveal Geneva’s betrayal to Nick, Ronny hesitates, as Nick appears overwhelmed with their work-related pressures. A chance meeting with Geneva at a Blackhawks game leads her to assure him that her affair is over and that she will confess to Nick once their important project is finished. However, Ronny later stumbles upon Geneva and Zip continuing their clandestine relationship. In a desperate move, Geneva threatens Ronny, claiming she will accuse him of making advances toward her and revealing a past fling they shared in college.

When Ronny tracks Geneva to Zip’s home, he captures evidence of their secret rendezvous, but finds himself cornered on the patio by a group of skateboarders, unable to escape. A confrontation with Zip ensues as Ronny tries to defend himself. Despite the chaos, he manages to attend Beth’s parents’ 40th wedding anniversary, but his increasingly erratic behavior worries his friends, leading them to believe he has returned to gambling.

In a heartfelt intervention, Ronny exposes the real reasons for his actions, leading Geneva to reluctantly admit to her infidelity. Nick, though hurt by the revelations, ultimately forgives Ronny and decides to part ways with Geneva for her betrayal. In an uplifting turn, both Ronny and Nick secure approval for their design from Dodge, and Ronny finally proposes to Beth, showing that despite the turmoil, loyalty and friendship prevail.
