Vengance is mine, sayeth the writer

Better Off Dead writer/director Savage Steve Holland on his much-loved film:
Better Off Dead is a true story, pretty much. It’s an exaggerated true story.

So there was a girl you were that broken-hearted over?

SS: Oh yeah.

Have you ever spoken to her again? Does she know the movie is about her?

SS: That’s a great question. It’s really weird but she really broke my heart, and even through college I was still bummed out about it, but life went on. Then I made this funny movie. And like 6 years later, I got a call, I don’t know how she got my number, and she said, “I’ve been in therapy because I saw your movie and I had no idea."

YES!
