This flick is non-stop laughs from beginning to end! John Cusack gets all suicidal over the breakup from his high school dream baby but no matter how hard he tries to kill himself, he keeps muffing it up! A hanging occurs but right when his mom opens the door! He jumps off the bridge but he lands in a garbage truck! He tries to fill the garage with carbon monoxide but he passes out, his car hits reverse and he comes blasting through the garage door! He tries to light himself on fire but the neighbor swallows his bottle of flame enhancer and she burns her face with a ciggie! Oh, not to mention Booger from Revenge of the Nerds, who likes to snort real snow because it makes his right side freeze up just like a stroke! Then there's the newspaper kid who keeps following John Cusack around with his constant refrain, "Where's my two dollars!"
