Event Details
For the month of May, we are showing movies starring John Cusack. Cusack got his start making coming of age films in the 80s before a smooth transition to indie leading man the following decade. He may not have the accolades that some of his peers do, but he has made a handful of movies that remain classics for a generation.
On this night, we are watching John in Savage Steve Holland's 1985 film "Better Off Dead" also starring David Ogden Stiers and Kim Darby. It is rated PG.
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.
