* WhatAnIdiot: Things would have been ''a lot'' easier for Ronny had he let his own girlfriend in on what was going on between Nick and his wife, or in fact, tell Nick when he gave him the chance. Ronny's behavior would have made more sense.

* CompletelyDifferentTitle: The German for dilemma is "dilemma". So naturally in Germany ''The Dilemma'' is shown as ''Dickste Freunde'' -- which means ''Fat Friends''. Or less literally ''Best Friends''. [[note]]This inexplicable transmogrification was riffed on by Creator/MarkKermode and Simon Mayo. Simon thought Dickste Freunde might have stared in some straight-to-video erotic thrillers. Mark: "Wally Pfister shoots Dickste Freunde, in ''The Fat Friends''!"[[/note]]

Added DiffLines:

* DirectorDisplacement: The film was directed by Creator/RonHoward but you would think that Creator/VinceVaughn was the driving force of the film (seeing how it looks like a lot of Vaughn's other films).

* FelonyMisdemeanor: One "big secret" that Ronny has kept from Nick for years is that he dated Geneva... during college... before Nick and Geneva ever even met.
** Viewers found this plot point unnecessary and tacked on to the overall drama, regardless of authenticity. In the crucial scene, the anger is directed toward Ronny, not Geneva, whom Nick is ''married'' to.
