Bye Bye Baby is a 1988 Italian romantic comedy film directed by Enrico Oldoini. The film starred Brigitte Nielsen and Carol Alt. It is one of the few films to feature five-pin billiards on-screen in any detail. [2]
A couple from Milan, Sandra and Paolo, engage in a series of extramarital affairs, reconciliations, escapades and eventual divorce, beginning during a vacation to Mauritius. Sandra becomes involved with a handsome doctor, Marcello, while Paolo falls for Lisa, a professional five-pin billiards player.
Brigitte Nielsen was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress at the 10th Golden Raspberry Awards, where she ended up losing to Heather Locklear for The Return of Swamp Thing . [3]
Los Angeles Times panned the film as thematically repetitive, "daringly banal", and a failure as a sex farce because so little of it is actually comedic. [4] Billiards film review site 8 Ball on the Silver Screen also criticized the film for its unbelievable five-pin billiards scenes that indicated no training of Nielsen for the role. [2]
