Editor's Note
A comedic drama about the difficulties of divorce for men and their children, BYE BYE LOVE stars likable actors Paul Reiser, Matthew Modine, and Randy Quaid. All three are divorced fathers who get custody of their children on the weekends, and have to make the most of the little time they get. Each one must also contend, in a different way, with their ex-wives and the new women they've become involved with. The film also features Janeane Garofalo in a brief, scene-stealing role as the stereotypical "date from hell," and Eliza Dushku (BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER) in an early part.
Plot Summary
Three divorced fathers on the cusp of middle age cope with familial and romantic travails with a disarming mix of bitterness and irreverent humor. Dave, Vic, and Donny, who have banded together as an informal support group, meet each weekend at a local McDonald's to exchange children with their respective ex-wives. Each in turn suffers indignities at the hands of distraught teenage daughters, swaggering feminist blind dates, and an acid-tongued radio deejay who proffers advice that no one wants to hear.
