[A] wonderfully off-kilter iteration of the typical coming-of-age-and-getting-the-girl movie....Genuinely funny... -- Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: B+ --
Forget Citizen Kane. As a matter of history, this seminal film is unquestionably the finest work of cinema ever made. Required viewing for all students and fans of the art form.

Full of...goofy ironies, and while it ain't Molière, it is a pretty great entry in the teen-comedy genre. [Blu-ray]

...A sharp satire that foreshadowed films like HEATHERS....It's a freak show that makes adolescence look as painful as you remember it...

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Unfortunately, only about half of the many jokes and gags in the film are actually funny.

strives to be offbeat and sometimes works itself into a sweat doing so. The humor often hits the bullseye, however...

...[Franklin] is charming as the exchange student trying to win Cusack's heart...

Product Description:
Lane Myer's (John Cusack) dreams are shattered when his girlfriend Beth (Amanda Wyss) decides she prefers the company of a sleazy ski jock over his own. This disheartening news leads Lane to attempt to take his own life in various ways--all of which never seem to work out. But if he can beat Beth's new boyfriend in a ski run down the treacherous K-12, he may be able to win her back. Along the way, Lane also encounters a beautiful French exchange student, a nasal spray-snorting neighbor, a rabid newspaper boy, and dancing hamburgers. "Savage" Steve Holland (ONE CRAZY SUMMER) directs this 1985 cult favorite.
