Welcome to the doldrums of January, a cinematic graveyard where, traditionally, studios unceremoniously dump off their DOA films with little fanfare and even fewer expectations. But this year was going to be different; with marquee names like Vince Vaughn, Ron Howard, Seth Rogen and Michel Gondry, the box office could match the talent on display? So, was it? Ehhh...ish. While The Green Hornet managed to open on just barely the side of "okay," The Dilemma self-destructed at a weak number two. There's always January 2012 guys!
