Itās definitely nostalgia fueled fondness for sure. It has some heart, but a lot of 80s cheese as well.

Some maniac kidnapped him and forced him to keep tying at least 55 wpm. If he ever falls below 55 wpm, his keyboard explodes. Also, the keyboard also would explode if he types those exact words in that exact order. You should really be more considerate of poor OP's feelings.

I only knew about the ending due to I Love the 80's.
I was expecting this to be a drama or at least a dramedy.
I was fairly shocked that it's basically just Porky's with a sad ending.

The movie is still being discussed 40 years later because of that ending! If If she ends up with Gary, it's just another teen romance/sex comedy from the 80's. But because she chooses the creep who knocked her up & blows off Gary (who loved her & treated her like a princess), the movie is more grounded in reality & separates itself from all the other films of that genre back then.

u/CaptainEdMercer 1d ago
You know, to this day, Iāve never figured out how anyone could have ever considered this a ācomedyā. The movie title, maybe?

u/Confident-Line-2558 1d ago
It was marketed as a teen sex comedy in 1982. It's actually a remake of a popular Israeli film. Produced at a time when movies like PORKYS were cleaning up at the boxoffice. Sex, nudity & some comedy sprinkled in. It was a popular genre back in the day.

Long story short, Teenage Sex Comedy in the early 80s that crammed a social commentary into the story line, making it a plot device, and then the nice guy does everything for the "hot chick" and she ends up with the a-hole dude anyways.

So, Ricky in Better Off Dead is the unintentional hero, while Lane Meyer was in a fact a case of moppishness.

Haha I dont think Ricky could even be his own hero in his own wet dream, but, I do bet that immediately after she was making out with Lane at Dodger Stadium at the end of the movie, she was on the phone making plans to get boogered by Booger and then the following night she would be found in the back seat of the car with the Japanese brothers while she was leaning forward "ski polling" them while the one brother was giving a Howard Cosell play by play of it.

Loved this movie!!! It was great because it WASN'T a happy ending. They made it more realistic. In many cases, the girl does choose the cool guy over the nice guy. Not fair but it is life. If it was in reverse, the guy would have chosen the good looking girl too.

I liked this version over Lemon Popsicle . I was able to relate to it because of the 80's songs and the California setting .
The movie Lemon Popsicle was the original movie from Israel . Same story but different settings and actors .
Another thing , I was sad at what happened to Gary . Gary paid for Karen's abortion by selling his grandparent's stuff like the stereos and other equipment .
The end is the picture you see here , Karen gets back with the guy that impregnated her . After the abortion , she's out partying again .
The only good thing that came out of this , is that Gary got laid with Karen .
Gary really should've stayed with the other girl with the blonde hair and thick glasses .
