    If you want to wath Better Off Dead, this is the way to do it. Seriously. You can't find it streaming anywhere. And that's fine, because wouldn't you like to own it for yourself? It's 80s wackiness at its best. And this is definitely the best quality version you've seen unless you happened to catch it in theaters. Worth the price, even if it lacks any special features (besides the original trailer).

    Having gone back to it several years (?) after first seeing it. It's good but it doesn't quite hold the same sheen as it did in my younger days. Kind of a coming of age movie where a love sick guy loses his girlfriend to a jock. He goes on to try winning her back by skiing the deadliest hill only to find out someone across the street is of more interest than the old girlfriend. Oh, it's not Ricky.

    Better off dead is one of my personal favorite comedies with not enough people who know or talk about this film. I have always thought john cusack has had some OK to bad films but so far I have enjoyed him in The Frozen Ground and this( I have not seen say anything yet). This movie was made for TV and has a lot of cheesy parts in the film but I smile every time I watch this its a funny underrated picture that deserves to be watched. I highly recommend this.

    I gave it 4 stars because i love the movie, but the case is as cheap as they come. I actually thought the case was broke at first, but no, it's just very cheap. The movie itself is a huge clarity difference from the dvd or old vhs for sure. For the price, cant complain for a classic.

    Sophomoric Humor and Romantic Comedy

    I purchased Better Off Dead as an opportunity to share a movie from my youth with my children. I have oft quoted the line "I want my 2 dollars", and nobody seemed to know where it came from. This movie is light-hearted and ultimately feel-good, with a touch of unrealistic humor. I enjoyed watching it again. Remember, the car is the real star.

    To me, Better Off Dead is still one of the funniest movies ever. It's absurd and bizarre and very original. But, while it's great to have this movie on Blu-Ray, it would be nice if there would have been a director's commentary or any extras on the disc at all.

    What else can you say about this movie. It was just as good now, but looks much better in HD on Blu-ray. If you haven't ever seen this movie, spend the $10 to watch it.

    I first saw this in theaters upon it's release. My wife watched this for the first time after I picked this up and loved it! Still holds up despite the 80s time frame.

    It was great to be able to watch Better Off Dead again on blu-ray, although I noticed the picture quality was a bit lacking for blu-ray quality.

    Great early John Cusack comedy. If you are a fan of him or 80s humor, great movie to add to the collection.
