"Damn, what a shame. Throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that".


Or something like that. Haven't seen it in years but that was my favorite line.

one of the funniest scenes is the two Japanese brothers who always want to race Lane Myer. one brother doesn't know any English, and the other one learned English by watching Wide World of Sports and talks like Howard Cosell... haha

While I don't think the French exchange student is that cute...this is one of my favorite movies ever. I have been wanting to buy the DVD for a while...but I do have the VHS. One of Cusak's best. My favorite part is the guys he's always racing...that stuff cracks me up.

One of the best movies of all time. So many classic lines...hard to pick one! :D

Even now, I still think that French chick is da'bomb.

I thought the burger hut animation was dumb. The rest of the the movie was pretty funny.

Had no idea what movie you were talking about until I remembered this. Is this the one where he worked at a diner and played the sax for her?
