Bye Bye Love

1995 · 106 min

A gentle, mildly funny look at divorced dads muddling through, more wry than sharp, with a soft heart beneath the sitcom banter.

Directed by
Sam Weisman
Genres
Comedy, Romance
Tagline
Donny, Dave and Vic are best friends. They have everything in common ... ex-wives, new girlfriends, and the kids for the weekend.
Overview
With varying degrees of success, recently divorced friends Dave, Vic and Donny are trying to move on with their lives. Vic feels vilified by his ex-wife's parents, while Donny has a shaky bond with his teen daughter, Emma. Dave, meanwhile, has an enviable problem -- he has more dates than he can handle. As they confront their post-marital challenges, the men take solace in one another's plights.
