This was a good classic movie with great performances throughout

I friggin love this movie! It’s great, and super tough to find!

This is a classic 80's movie. Lots of fun and humor throughout.

This was a good comedy starring John Cusack & Amanda Wyss

This is a funny movie for teens. A boy thinks he can't live without one girl only to find inspiration in other things.

Having loved teen movies from the 90's and 00's, I thought this would be good like Breakfast Club was, but I was wrong.

I love this movie and John Cusack’s One Crazy Summer from the 1980’s! They were highlights for ne as a teenager at the time. The comedy at times goes the way of a Naked Gun movie. Both movies have Savage Steve Holland as the director and to me he should remembered as John Hughes is for 80’s teen comedies!

This is one of my favorite 80's movies....and John Cusack was one of those actors who made these movies so good. (Some of his other great 80's movies are One Crazy Summer, The Sure Thing, Sixteen Candles(small role),and Say Anything). I quote this movie all the time....."Gee I'm sorry your mom blew up Ricky"......"Two Dollars"........."that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that" Just classic stuff. I own this on DVD but will now add the BluRay to my collection and hopefully there are more extras on it.

Sleeper comedy, its one of those movies that if you saw it in the 80s, you want to watch it now that your an adult. Find someone that has seen it and you immediately say lines like "I want my 2 dollars" or laugh about the French dinner... If I had not gotten it, and showed it to my kids, odds are they would not have seen it, as it has not gotten popular as some of the other 80s movies have, which is a shame... I grabbed it during the DVD upgrade program, so got this extremely cheap, that made this purchase easy!

It's 1985, and Savage Steve Holland takes a delightful look at teen dating, teen breakups and the effect both have on young adults. His study is a very young John Cusack and his obsessive crush on the ultimate blonde idiot, Beth, who only finds him attractive until she falls for the school ski director, and resident bully. Beth, who is played very well by Amanda Wyss, shallow as she is, decides to break up with John's character Lane, as calmly as she picks her hair spray. Thus begins Lane's decent into hilarious attempts at suicide and trying to win her back. Holland's directional and writing debut is a little rough, but very real and keeps you watching to the very end. The end, where Lane discovers that there is life after Beth.

This film is great and is one of my favorite comedies of all time. The DVD has absolutely no special features -- the closest it comes is a small paragraph on the back of the DVD's case that says the film is semi-autobiographical and that the director made depressing films that made his friends laugh. Highly recommended.

Simply one of the best movies too scream the 80’s from the greatest decades ever. I love this flick.

Take one part John Cusack acting like an akward teenager, add a dash of Savage Steve's genious, and hilarity ensues. A must see for any fan of comedy, 80s teen comedy, John Cusack, or anything good. You will love it.

I quote this movie a lot and my wife has never seen it so I bought it. She still didn't really get it, but I love this movie. One of John Cusack's classics!

It is really funny and takes you into a competitive nature for skiing life. Some of it is over the top comedy but that is why it's so good

John Cusack is great in this one. It may not have been a contender for an Oscar, but It's a great movie and very funny. Silly funny. A good time.

Great movie.. A must see. I have been a fan of this movie my whole life. I will never get sick of it. TWO DOLLARS!!!!

This is one of John Cusack's best movies--smart and funny. I'd recommend this one to anyone looking for a great laugh!

Great movie, bare-bones dvd release. The anamorphic widescreen transfer is good, but this dvd could have used some extras, especially considering what a fun movie it was.
