Nov 7, 2023 We all need a cool, dry place in our lives to start over Vince Vaughn, Monica Potter, and Joey Lauren Adams A single father Russell is looking for a new job Then out of the blue his wife Kate decides she's not happy anymore and divorces him A new woman Beth enters his life starting a new romance But when his ex returns things get tricky Beth doesn't want to get in the middle of anything messy Russell wants to start over and only raise his son never wanting the emotional scarring his mom left when she bailed It's almost impossible to be a dad but it's worth it just for your child's love and affection All these actors are really good and you get a sense of where they come from This is one of Vaughn's best acting The melodrama is a bit trite but you expect certain things to come out of a tricky spot these people are in that offers enough food for thought on single parenting and bonds of fathers and sons A decent honest human drama from everyone See more camille l @RT76374992 Oct 7, 2014 Dans A Cool Dry Place, on parle avec chaleur humaine d'un père célibataire et de ses difficultés à élever son gamin seul. On lui met dans les pattes une jolie fille et son ex-femme. Dans A Cool Dry Place, il n'y a rien d'original, aucune idée de mise en scène, aucune qualité qui rendrait le film indispensable ou même sympathique deux heures durant. En revanche, il n'y a aucun énorme défaut et l'interprétation de Vince Vaughn est parfaite. Il en reste qu'on s'ennuie ferme en attendant la fin avec impatience. Dommage, car l'idée de Vaughn en coach de basket était très bonne. C'est bien la seule. See more Aug 9, 2013 First found Vince Vaughn to be so appealing in the movie. He conveys every emotion in this single father drama. One of my favorites. See more Apr 14, 2013 Not my favourite film as it lacked a strong story line it was a bit too etchy! A shame really See more Jan 5, 2013 I thought this movie was good however I am a Vince Vaughn fan and I know some are not. To see a comedian do drama isn't always a good thing but in this case I liked it. This is just a good watch it may not end up as your favorite movie but a good one none the less. See more Aug 12, 2012 Overly melodramatic at times, but much more believable than more of the loved melodramas of our time. Vince Vaughn performed brilliantly as a fully-fleshed out father. As a human drama, I found myself more impressed than disappointed. See more Read all reviews
