"Goodbye Lover" is a smarmy mix of laughs and thrills that stars Patricia Arquette and Dermot Mulroney as a couple from hell. She sells expensive real estate; he+s an ad exec. She's fucking his brother (Don Johnson); he's fucking his assistant (Mary-Louise Parker). When one of this motley crew is murdered, the investigation is headed by a detective (Ellen DeGeneres) who's made her own share of moral compromises. Director Roland Joffe, whose career has reached the heights of The Killing Fields
