Synopsis:

Lane Meyer is very much in love with his girlfriend, Beth (or maybe obsessed is a better word), so when she dumps him for the captain on the ski-team, he is beyond devastated and decides to end his life by way of a series of failed, but comical, suicide attempts!

Throw in a friend who snorts Jell-O and snow in lieu of drugs… a dad who tries to be hip… a homicidal paperboy… dancing hamburgers… a beautiful French exchange student… a mom who has no clue what-so-ever… and you have yourself a weird little movie called “Better Off Dead…”!
