High school student Lane Meyer sinks into suicidal depression when his girlfriend dumps him for jock Roy Stalin, the high school ski racing champion. Meanwhile, he has to deal with his eccentric family, a tenacious paperboy and an obnoxious neighbor whose mother is hosting a beautiful French exchange student named Monique.
Editor's Verdict
"While 'Better Off Dead...' is a beloved 1980s teen comedy, the central conflict (a breakup and subsequent attempts to win back the ex-girlfriend) and the main plot drivers (dealing with the paperboy, the French exchange student) are not tied to the Christmas season in any significant way. The film is not set during the holidays."
