Bye Bye, Love ★★½ 1994 (PG-13)

Forty-eight hours in the lives of three divorced buddies starts at the local Mickey D's for the biweekly exchange of discovtheir kids. The dads don't offer any surprises: Donny (Reiser) still loves his ex, Vic (Quaid) hates his, and Dave (Modine) loves anything in a skirt. Sometimes witty, but just as often sadly poignant, the plot is as shallow as a TV sitcom, with an easy answer for every difficult question about divorce. The three leads are likeable enough, but Garofalo is the gem in an otherwise dull flick. She looks like she's havsiblings. ing a blast, stealing scenes with abandon as Vic's blind date from hell. 107m/C VHS, DVD .
