Story Synopsis:
Bye Bye Love is a modern comedy with serious overtones about three best friends, all divorced and all with children. They meet regularly on weekends at a fast food McDonald’s, a sort of neutral “unloading/loading” exchange zone, to pick up their kids from their ex-wives. As the story unfolds, the relationships between these single dads and their children are laid bare with the ring of truth showing between the laughs. Brilliant and touching performances effectively communicate what it means to be a family. Matthew Modine, Randy Quaid, and Paul Reiser are the three dads. Rob Reiner is a pop divorce psychologist with a radio show and Janeane Garofalo is the blind-date-from-hell.
LaserDisc Picture:
The matted 1.85:1 picture has blatant color distortion for an unpleasant visual experience. Fleshtones are orange-yellow hued while other colors are over saturated. The picture is sharp and detailed and there are no artifacts or glaring noise.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
Subtle surround envelopment is provided by the music score, otherwise the soundtrack is conventional monaural, with an unnatural ADR dialogue presence.
