bye bye love

diana said she loved this movie growing up and watched it all the time. i'm not exactly sure why, there is almost nothing in here that a young girl would find enjoyable. or that i would find enjoyable for that matter. the story follows three divorced dads as they try to figure out life post marriage. one of them, paul reiser, deal with it the best way he can, he wallows in his depression and has been having a hard time moving on. the second one, randy quaid, deals with it through anger, and the third one, matthew modine, fills the void with one night stands. each of them try to figure out what happens next in life as they still try to be good fathers for their children. most of the movie seems to be an advertisement for mcdonalds, since much of the film takes place in one. each of the fathers drop off and pick up their kids from the exes at mcdonalds and spend a lot of time sitting in the restaurant discussing how much life sucks. its not a good ad for mcdonalds, but an ad none the less... the stories are shallow and selfish, leaving the kids to suffer from childish fathers who dont seem to know how to deal with life as adults. i didnt end up caring for any of the three men, but instead just felt sorry for their children who have to deal with them.
