Imaginative, often funny teen comedy. Nothing new plotwise, but mix of low-key gags and broadly caricatured characters keep this peppy until a disappointingly conventional windup.

There are a few amusing moments (like the ways that the main character's suicide attempts are interrupted), but for the most part this is just average. The movie also has a superficial message that makes every ugly person a 'bad guy'...which makes me wonder if the writers had the mindsets of cliche high school jocks themselves. And the main character is more annoying than sympathetic.

Vintage 80's comedy. Cusack and Booger at their best. Very quotable, very funny.

Just quirky and original enough to land a higher rating. John Cusack shows moments of a very good physical comedian here as well.

Another well done film by Cusack. Although it isn't one of his more serious films to date it was very fun to watch and just shows another element of a very likable actor.

Wacky teen comedy/fantasy. Pretty formulaic, but Cusack is JUST charismatic enough to carry it off.

This zany teen comedy is one of the best from the 80's. What other movie can claim to have a threatening paperboy, singing hamburgers and a Japanese guy that speaks Howard Cosell? (two times)

Fun, sometimes absurd, teen movie romp. Gotta love blond villain jock whose name is Stalin. One of those movies best watched with a bowlful bong and some chocolate cookies.
