Rating: Summary: I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS! Review: Odd-ball and hilarious. The window-destroying, bill-collecting paper boy cannot be forgotten. One of my favorite "high school" films, much due to it's low-budget appeal, John Cusack's charm, and the fact that I grew up on the VERY same green carrot-raisin salad that slid across the kitchen table.
Rating: Summary: I want my 2 dollars Review: This is by far the funniest movie i have ever seen. It has no organized sequence of events whatsoever, it consists of just a huge chain of random events that somehow pull off a plot.(although i cant explain how). in short, watch it, watch it again, watch it some more, then continue to watch it.
Rating: Summary: John Cusack is a Genious! Review: Better Off Dead is one of life's pleasures.I think that this is probably one of the best movies ever made! It's hilarious, and all of the actors really fit their characters. I especially love how they put Booger(from Revenge of the Nerds!) in it. This movie's pure genious!
Rating: Summary: A must have for the "Breakfast Club Generation" Review: This movie has some of the funniest moments and lines ever put on film. This is the movie that defines John Cusak as an actor. When you watch it you will see a young actor who with his dead pan delivery and sarcastic demeanor was undoubtedly to be a star. John Cusak became this star from his portrayal of Lane Meyer, a love sick , obsessed, confused (as if none of us were) ,cynical, and very unusual teenager in the mid to late eighties.His girlfriend leaves him and his thoughts go to how to terminate his life. But his neighbor and a foriegn exchange student ( as well as some very funny attempts) change his attitude towards death. This movie has now become a staple of the comedy channel and can often be seen on TBS but it really needs to be seen in its original format. I dont want to say any more less I ruin the great laughs that you are sure to encounter from this film. I will leave you with this one thought "Gee Im real sorry your mom blew up Ricky. The doctor says she'll be alright, she just cant eat any spicy foods for a while." Enjoy.
Rating: Summary: After 100 times and 14 years later, still funny Review: I first watched this movie back in 1986 when I was 19 years old. I was in the Army at the time and my roomates and I used to watch it at least once every weekend, looking for new things on it. Dec 1999...While looking for something else I saw it and I had to buy it just to have and watched it just because I paid for it, but the movie still one of the funniest movies I have ever seen! I may watch it again this weekend.

Rating: Summary: Best Ever! Review: THis is the funniest movie ever! Its a must buy. You can watch it over and over again, yet it never gets boring!
Rating: Summary: Better off dead - Showing its age Review: Better Off Dead is fun to watch because it's a classic 80's movie. The rehashed "zero to hero" plot, the no-name 80's singer who sings at the dance, the random claymation scene stuck in the middle for no reason, the stereotypical nerds, jocks, they all make this movie a fun-to-laugh-at/hard-to-laugh-with type of film. This is also one of John Cusack's first films ever, and it really shows.
Rating: Summary: I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS! Review: This is a classic movie with obnoxious paperboys, crazy neighbors, and one of the most disturbed families you have EVER seen. Watch John Cusack's dinner crawl away while his life seems to disintigrate! Utterly hilarious and worth at least five more stars!
Rating: Summary: Two Dollars! Review: Park your brain in neutral before you hit the "play" button on the VCR and you are in for a hoot of a good time. There are priceless, brainless moments in this movie and John Cusack is utterly endearing. There's not much plot, but it's a non-stop series of laughs.
