Better Off Dead

Year: 1985
Director: Savage Steve Holland
Starring: John Cusack, Curtis Armstrong, Diane Franklin

Synopsis:

Lane Myer (John Cusack) is your typical high school teen, obsessed with his girlfriend Beth and is totally crushed when she dumps him for the captain of the ski team, Roy Stalin. After several failed attempts at suicide, and narrow escapes from the psychotic paper boy, Lane falls for the new French exchange student and beats Roy Stalin and becomes captain of the ski team.

Review:

This movie is one of the great teen comedies from the 80's. I think just about everyone can somewhat relate to Lane. Watching this movie, I can't help but think Savage Steve Holland must have had a very interesting childhood. I would very highly recommend this movie, it's one of my favorites.

My Rating:
10/10
