Leave your thoughts about A Cool, Dry Place.
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatOffers much food for thought on single parenting and the deep ties between fathers and sons. |
| VarietyLael LoewensteinThe kind of plodding, conventional fare usually reserved for TV movies. |
| Boxoffice MagazineTim CogshellThe film devolves into trite melodrama. But on the strength of several good performances, the authenticity of emotion remains intact. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsDragan AntulovCould have been much better with slightly tighter pacing and with less drowning in sentimentalism. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaDespite some solid acting by Vaughn, Potter, and Adams, there is no escaping the movie-of-the-week trappings. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsThe gorgeous Vince Vaughn makes the most of his role as everybody's dream dad -- flaws and all -- while Bobby Moat, as his young son, is little short of miraculous. |
| User ReviewTeresa WI Love this movie. Vince Vaughn is a good actor in this movie!!! |
| User ReviewGina BFirst found Vince Vaughn to be so appealing in the movie. He conveys every emotion in this single father drama. One of my favorites. |
| User ReviewStacy CI loved this movie...It was the first time I had ever seen Vince Vaughn. I don't even think he was famous back then...total thumbs up! |
| User ReviewJason SFor those who say Vince Vaughn is one-dimensional, check this movie out. |
