Better Off Dead is a childhood favorite that I still enjoy as an adult. Yes, the filmmaking is a little amateurish, but that's part of the charm. This movie has so many quotable quotes ("I want my two dollars!" "Gee, I'm really sorry your mom blew up, Ricky.") and moments that make me smirk. I don't think they'd ever make a movie like this these days, so I'm glad they did in the 80s.
