Reception

Derek Elley of Variety wrote: "There's nothing wrong with "Dead Cool" that a further rewrite and slicker direction couldn't fix. London-set light relationships comedy centered on a teen boy coming to grips with his mom's new boyfriend and the memory of his late father boasts good performances but is let down by weak dialogue and an unfocused feel."^[1] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave it 2 out of 5.^[2]
