A hilarious movie released in 1985. Written and directed by Savage Steve Holland. Players: John Cusack, Curtis Armstrong, Diane Franklin, Kim Darby, Demian Slade, Amanda Wyss, Scooter Stevens, David Ogden Stiers, and more.

Lane Myer (John Cusack) becomes depressed after loosing his girlfriend Beth (Amanda Wyss). He was totally obsessed with Beth so her breaking up with him crushed him. His friend Charles (Curtis Armstrong) tries to help him out, yet Lane makes several attempts at suicide. Finally he meets Monique (Diane Franklin), a French foreign exchange student who helps him find a reason to live.

Ok so that sounds kind of down and depressing, but this movie is freakin' funny. From his obsession with Beth, to the ways he tries to commit suicide, from the persistent paperboy, to Jenny Myer's cooking, from Charles antics, to the things Badger Myer gets in the mail, this movie is hilarious. A definite must see. I give 4.0/4.0.

ukyoCE: There is a band called Lanemeyer on Too Hep Records.
