Short description
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.
What's left behind the scenes
- According to director and screenwriter Savage Steve Holland, the film is largely autobiographical. He genuinely considered suicide when his girlfriend left him for the captain of the ski team. He really did know a newspaper boy named Johnny Gasperini who tormented him. According to Holland, when the film was released, his ex-girlfriend called him to apologize.
