CRITICS OF "Better off Dead"

Movie Views

Better Off Dead's charm stems from its imagination and attitude.

Groucho Reviews

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

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.

Classic '80s Cusack vehicle.

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

Hilarious and brilliantly deadpan.

New York Times

The film doesn't seem to have much of a focus. But it doesn't seem to want one, either.

TV Guide

Unfortunately, only about half of the many jokes and gags in the film are actually funny.
