There's a potentially edgy aspect to Better Off Dead's comedy that's never fully realized.

Mired in this is Cusack ("The Sure Thing"), an unusually adept verbal comedian not so adept (to his credit) at this kind of slapstick.

The film doesn't seem to have much of a focus. But it doesn't seem to want one, either.
