Quotes:
Kate Durrell:
[to Russ] When I was in the bathroom, I was thinking about the time, God, I don't even think Calvin was 6-months-old, when we were down at the lake. And it started to rain, and you put him in the ice chest, you covered him - you covered him with a blanket. And that's the way I always think of him when I think of him with you. Y'know, being safe and protected in a cool dry place.

Vince is great. The story is funny and touching. There're some great bits, especially about the kid. So what is so fundamentally wrong with this movie? I couldn't figure it out, but something is missing.
I figure the only answer is a general lack of film making imagination. It boils down to a made-for-TV look to the movie. There's a lack of any good musical score or interesting songs. The direction is at best described as mediocre.
It's saving grace lies in the actors and a good story. It's too bad they couldn't save this movie completely.
