Bye Bye Love (1995)
6/10
Although Sometimes Boring or Mushy, This Irregular Comedy Entertains
9 September 2003
Dave Goldman (Matthew Modine), Vic Damico (Randy Quaid) and Donny Carlson (Paul Reiser) are best friends and divorced of Susan (Amy Brenneman), Grace (Lindsay Crouse) and Claire (Jayne Brook) respectively. They have sons and daughters, who live with their ex-wives and share part of the time with them. This dramatic comedy intends to show, mostly in a comic way, their relationship with new mates and their former families, especially with sons and daughters. Parts of this movie are very funny and great: when, for example, Donny says to Dave that his teenager daughter is in the age when girls become problematic and complicated and Dave asks: `-Which age is that?' Donny responds: `-From twelve to thirty-five (years old)', I really laughed a lot! But other parts do not work well and are boring, such as the dinner between Vic and Lucille (Janeane Garofalo) or mushy, such as the final dialog between Donny and his teenager daughter. Probably the fast food chain Mc Donald is sponsoring this movie, since its advertisement is a shame! Although forgettable, this film entertains. My vote is six.
