Finally, Ron Howard does a comedy for a change

Ron Howard is one of those directors who when he is at the top of his game, has made some very memorable movies. Ransom, Apollo 13, Backdraft, A Beautiful Mind, Frost/Nixon, Cinderella Man and the list goes on. But for every A Beautiful Mind, there has always been the misses including The Da Vinci Code, The Missing and Far and Away. But what the man does do well is comedy and he sure needs to do more of it. Parenthood is one of the funniest movies about family life. EdTv took a look at the world of Big Brother, although not that funny, Howard got a few laughs from the audience. And let's not forget the classic Splash. Who could forget Daryl Hannah and Tom Hanks teaming up for the fish out of water (literally) tale. But next year, Howard will finally leave behind the drama after years of producing hard hitting pieces, and will relax back into the world of comedy with his new movie, "The Dilemma." The Dilemma stars Vince Vaughn, Kevin James, Channing Tatum, Jennifer Connelly, Winona Ryder, and Queen Latifah (nice cast Ron). In the movie Kevin is married to Winona and Vince is going out with Jennifer. Vince and Kevin are best friends and are in business together. When Vince sees Winona out with another man, he has to make the choice whether is tell his friend/partner that she might be having an affair which could sacrifice their big deal, or not tell him. He has a "Dilemma" on his hands (see how I worked the title in their, clever huh?)  I for one will be checking out this film. With such an awesome cast, and excellent director attached who wouldn't want to see it? The Dilemma opens January 2011.
