Lane Myer is geobsedeerd door zijn vriendin Beth en zijn wereld stort in elkaar als ze verliefd wordt op Roy, de aanvoerder van het ski-team. Na meerdere zelfmoordpogingen, het overleven van meerdere teisteringen van de krantenbezorger en onuitstaanbare diners met familie, vindt hij een nieuwe liefde: een Franse studente genaamd Monique Junot. Ondertussen moet hij zijn naam hoog houden door Roy in elkaar te slaan.
Nee, helaas is Better Off Dead... nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
