Summary: Better Off Buying This Film....
Review: ....than you are purchasing any of the so-called teen "comedies" of today.
This movie is simply wonderful: hilarious, poignant, sardonic, and romantic, it features what defined 80s adolescent flicks -- John Cusack. Who could play the everyman better than he? Who was more skilled at identifying with a teenage audience than Mr. Cusack? As a 17-year-old, I can say that the film has not lost any of its charm: this is a cult flick at my school, and it still resonates.
If you're a girl, you want to be with Lane Meyer (Cusack's character). If you're a guy, you simply want to BE him. 'Nuff said.
The film relies not on gross-out humour (thank God), but on subtle touches of wit, elements of fantasy (Lane's crawling meal), and absolutely hilarious comic vignettes ("How To Pick Up Trashy Women")
In short: it's worth buying, and has not dated in the least. Much like Say Anything..., it was another critical triumph for Cusack, but a bomb at the box office. Why are such good films appreciated AFTER they've played out in theaters!!? There's no justice...
Oh, and I want my two dollars!

Summary: DVD... You like DVD
Review: Simply the funniest movie made in the eighties. If you've seen it once then you will be quoting lines for the rest of your life. I'm so glad they finally put it on DVD so I can get my language lessons in digital quality.

Summary: Classic humor, characters and themes from the 80's
Review: While no academy award winner, this is one of the funniest films of its time. At heart its a story of growing up. Cusack's character over-exxagerates his girl problems and provides the viewer with a great view into the life of a teenager - where everything seems more trouble than it is and life is sometimes very desperate because we understand so little at that age. So, serious review aside, this is one damn funny movie. "Chicks, cars and sports" - what more could you want!? Its juvenile, and hilarious. I won't give away any of the plot, suffice to say all the classic story elements, boy-meets-girl, high-school-bull/jock, etc. are in it.

Summary: Classic
Review: As a child of the 1980's, I know that my enjoyment of this flick is almost expected. If I didn't like it I'd be the oddity. John Cusack represents the boy that we all know, that we all have part of inside of us. He's quirky and sensitive and wants everyone around him to find him attractive and lovable. He teaches us the very important, if overly stressed message in movies of this genre (enter The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles), that love can be found in the most unexpected places, and only when you're not actively seeking it out. This also created my love affair of John Cusack. I have since seen every one of his movies, and I own most that have been released on VHS. Seeing his awkward stages, like in Better Off Dead, make you love him even more.

Summary: THE WORST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN
Review: This movie is the awful with a capital A. It's a wannabe cheeky comedy that's not funny. I adore John Cusack and see everything he appears in, but this was the worst. Hide your children, hide your eyes and take your dog for a walk...
