Paramount Home Entertainment has just added Better Off Dead to their line-up, scheduling the release of this John Cusack screwball comedy for August.

After his girlfriend (Amanda Wyss) ditches him for a boorish ski jock, Lane (John Cusack) decides that suicide is the only answer. However, his increasingly inept attempts bring him only more agony and embarrassment. Filled with the wildest teen nightmares, a family you can’t help but identify with and a host of wonderful comic characters, Savage Steve Holland’s writing/directorial debut is a masterful look at those painfully funny teen years.

The release will feature a 1080p high definition transfer with DTS 5.1 HD Master Audio. No extras have been announced for the release at this time.

John Cusack might think he’d be Better Off Dead on August 2, but you have nothing tolose, picking up this Blu-Ray release for $24.99.
