Amazon.com: Ah, the sensitive male of the 1990s. He's nowhere to be found in this wan comedy about three divorced dads and the weekend each spends with his kids. It opens with the ritual of the divorced: mothers handing off kids to dads in neutral territory, the local McDonald's. Then the three buddies at the center of this film (Paul Reiser, Randy Quaid, and Matthew Modine) go their separate ways. Reiser is looking for a way to win his ex-wife back (and comes across as a hangdog drip); Modine is the group's womanizer who chases a variety of females, while seemingly ignoring his kid. Quaid has the film's only comedically fruitful role as the group's most cynical member who goes on the world's worst blind date with the hilariously off-the-wall Janeane Garofalo. Harmless, occasionally funny, but unremarkable. --Marshall Fine
Bye Bye Love I absolutely loved this movie. It is a great movie to see how men deal with divorce and taking care of their kids on the weekends when they have visitation as well as the men trying to get on with their own lives.
Cute I have always loved this movie. I think my favorite part is with Janeane Garofalo on the blind date.
For husband Ordered with Kingdom of Heaven. Husband loves this movie. Purchased, shipped, received fast.
Dramatic and funny! It is rare for a film to tell a story which is dramatic and funny at the same time. "Bye Bye Love"'s director achieves this fine balance and delivers great performances from all cast members, especially Reiser, Quaid and Modine. The story evolves around 3 male friends who are divorced parents and who each cope with their situations differently while managing to keep their respective children the center of their individual lives. The story is highly entertaining and touching. A great family movie to watch!
It could happen to you. A group of divorced couples dealing with life's disappointments. A good clean down home movie that most divorced people can relate too.
