I was in HS when this movie was popular. It was an instant classic with all of us. I think one of our teachers even put it on in class at the end of the year. We laughed at it in HS in the late 80's and now us in our mid-40's laugh at it all the more!!

I just learned she passed away in September 2013. I just watched BOD again tonight with my mom.Funny film with surreal humor. She was also in Cusack's film, "One Crazy Summer" as the crossing guard. "If you make ugly faces and someone hits you in the back, your face stays that way, forever!"

John Cusack seems to have recanted, check out Wikipedia. I can see why John might have flipped out then, but he would have to be pretty insensitive not to appreciate this film's charm by now. Eveyone who likes it really loves it. This movie really touched me and my friends and helped me get over my own disappointing high school experiences. It's a great movie!

Indeed it is Bikewithlove. Yes, I know this movie is rather silly in some parts, but in my honest opinion, it's silly in the sense that YOU JUST HAVE TO LAUGH! :-) I have this movie on DVD -- back in February 2004 I IMMEDIATELY thought of this movie and put it in my DVD player and played it right after my girlfriend abruptly dumped me. :-)
