You knew the buzz around the Green Hornet had to be bad when they moved the release date to the death month of January and it turns out that the reviews hold up to the bad buzz. As for The Dilemma, I can’t remember where I read it, but someone mentioned that Vince Vaughn looks very much like Kevin James, which is quite true and disturbing.
Nationwide Releases

The Dilemma
The Green Hornet
Directed: Michel Gondry
Starring: Seth Rogen, Jay Chou, Cameron Diaz, Christoph Waltz, Edward James Olmos, David Harbour, Tom Wilkinson
Trailer
Synopsis: After goofing off on his dad’s money most of his life, a wealthy man decides to fight crime after his father is murdered.
My Take: It doesn’t seem super original with all the other superhero movies that have been made, but it still looks like a lot of fun.
RT Score: 45%
RT Consensus: It’s sporadically entertaining, but The Green Hornet never approaches the surreal heights suggested by a Michel Gondry/Seth Rogen collaboration.
