Susan S This film really explores the roles that children and fathers are placed in after divorce. It is far more than a comedy as it explores some of the situations and feelings that are present in the divorced family that includes kids. This is a truly likable, wonderfully enjoyable, fun movie with enough comedy to make it laughable, but enough perspective to make a someone examine the roles of a family before and after divorce. This movie is a true keeper for our family. We watch it about 3 times a year. Highly recommended in my opinion.
jbartelone I really enjoyed Bye Bye Love. While many films have been done to death about divorced families and the trials and tribulations of their ex-spouses and kids, Bye Bye Love creates a very realistic chemistry of bickering couples, couples who still love each other, and single dads who have trouble dealing with divorce in multi-dimensional ways.It's all there: The day planning, the little league games, the dates, where everything that can go wrong often does go wrong. Mix all of this with the loud kids and spouses! Many people can deal with these issues in their own dysfunctional families. Watch for the best scene in the movie, where one of the Dad's has a "Date from Hell" at an Italian restaurant! Some critics and reviews have negatively discussed how the film personifies McDonald's as an "ad endorsement" for the fast-food chain. But, I didn't see this at all. Many people of divorced families will often meet at a fast food place for lunch or dinner to talk about their issues with their spouses and kids. Another element to the realism of the movie.The only minor downfall is that the ending is a little too pat and preachy with the "Just love your kids" routine. But there are many strong subplots and situations that anyone going through a divorce can understand. I recommend this movie. You might find something in it if you are going through a divorce, especially with kids involved, that you can relate to it in your own life. I always made a point to watch Bye Bye Love whenever it is on. Now I can watch the movie anytime I want. I own the DVD, and learn something new from the movie after each subsequent viewing.
soranno This kind of film has been done so many times before that it becomes kind of predictable. The film follows the lives of three recently divorced friends (Matthew Modine, Randy Quaid, Paul Reiser) and how they're coping with the aftermath of divorce. A great cast and a few amusing moments but it's not highly recommended as many earlier films have done more justice and originality to this kind of story.
BurgerTrippin I rate this movie 10/10. I finished watching another film and this was just starting. I ended up staying awake till 3am to see the conclusion. I think the movie is really well thought out and gives a true insight on the lives of divorced parents.
