BACK TO SCHOOL(1986)
This is actually pretty cute. Not really an A+ movie,
but certainly entertaining! B
From a reviewer at Amazon.com:
In the mid-1980s, standup comic Rodney Dangerfield
underwent a renewed wave of popularity, finding a surprisingly
enthusiastic baby-boomer audience. What else to do but make
a movie that shows off Dangerfield's alternately knowing and
boorish humor? This may not be on the AFI list of great films,
but it delivers laughs aplenty in its story of a rough-edged tycoon
who made his fortune in clothes for the stout and tall and
decides to attend college in order to be closer to his son (Keith
Gordon). There's not much plot, but lots of room for Dangerfield's
one-line riffs. The goggle-eyed comic veteran displays surprising
charm, enough to make his romance with professor Sally Kellerman
believable. Look for cameos by late comedian Sam Kinison and
author Kurt Vonnegut Jr. --Marshall Fine
