If any occasion warrants total hysteria, it's a breakup—especially in a 1980s teen flick. Lane Meyer (a baby-faced John Cusack) is devastated when his girlfriend leaves him for the popular captain of the ski team. When he's not making half-hearted suicide attempts (like jumping off a not-so-high bridge into a truck carrying fluffy garbage bags), he's working in a fast food joint and imagining rock concerts starring Claymation hamburgers. His eventual salvation comes in the form of a French exchange student and the ultimate ski-off. The delightfully dramatic teen angst keeps you laughing as you walk down your own memory lane—and has you thanking your lucky stars you'll never have to suffer a high school split again. |
