Vince Vaughn teams up with Ron Howard for film

An occasionally funny actor and acclaimed director team up for a relationship comedy
Ron Howard and Vince Vaughn may soon be working together on a comedy. Wait! A comedy? Yes, a comedy indeed. Okay, Howard is no stranger to comedy (he helmed "Edtv"), but it's definitely been a while since he directed one.
This new project, according to the Hollywood Reporter, follows a dude who finds out his best friend's wife is cheating. He then tries to figure out what he should do with this knowledge. The film is described as a comedy focusing on the dark sides of relationships.
Allan Loeb, whose credits include "21" and "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps," wrote the script. Vaughn was last seen in the disappointing comedy "Couples Retreat." As long as this new project isn't as disastrous as "The Break-Up," I'll give it a fair shot.
Howard last directed "Angels & Demons," a film I admit I still haven't seen. To be honest, I have no desire to watch it, although I probably will one day. Howard is also developing "The Parsifal Mosaic" at Universal, which also handles this untitled project.

Seems like they've just been throwing Vince Vaughn in movies since Old School and Wedding Crashers and expecting him to be funny. Then again the same can be said for Will Ferrell.
