This scene hits every single time.
In this clip from our review of Better Off Dead, we lose it over Monique’s legendary meltdown. The moment you realize she’s been fluent in English the entire movie.
Highlights include:
-A five-minute rant that comes out of NOWHERE
- John Cusack slowly realizing what’s happening
- Perfectly mangled English, self-corrections, and pure frustration
- One of the funniest delayed reactions in 80s movie history
The best part? John Cusack’s character takes way too long to catch up while she’s absolutely spiraling in the background.
Unhinged. Iconic. No notes.
