As three divorced fathers, Matthew Modine,
Paul Reiser and Randy Quaid stumble their way through this McMovie
about custody exchanges and mid-life romantic grief. Quaid's pissed-off
character is the only one with any appeal, but that doesn't amount
to much, not even during the film's centerpiece: an uninventive
blind-date scene with Janeane Garofalo. Serious themes are verbalized
to the point of embarrassment, comic sequences are ridiculously
constructed, and the movie vanquishes all dignity with its insistent
return to McDonald's (which obviously funded the picture).
