This is undoubtedly Rodney Dangerfield's best film and I believe, a comic classic. It is about a self-made millionaire who joins his son in his freshman year of college to boost his confidence and help him "fit in" better. Basically, he just wants his son be happy and successful. At the same time he manages to redecorate the dorm, show off his famous dive for the swim team, find romance and singlehandedly become the most popular "freshman" on campus. Of course, it contains many of Dangerfield's classically obnoxious one-liners, thus the PG-13 rating and also features an appearance by Sam Kennison. This one is just a lot of fun and although it is an older movie I think it would still appeal to today's generation of young(er) adults, as well as those of us who saw it the first (or second) time around...Read full review
Funny comedy with Rodney Dangerfield as a newly divorced man who decides to start over and go to college. Having made millions in the clothing business selling big and fat sizes he never finished school. He is a fifty-year-old guy with an eighteen-year-old party mentality. His son Jason, is at college and Rodney and his chauffeur, Lou, drive down to see him. When they arrive, they find out that he is failing, not in that fraternity, not on the dive team, and has no friends. He wants to drop out. In an effort to keep him in college, Rodney enrolls to go to school too. He has no real educational background, no SAT scores, or any other reason for college to accept him. . .so he donates a new building! Instant student enrollment. He is a party animal who is the life of the place. His idea of doing homework is to have the Brookings Institute send someone down to take care of it. His secretary goes to class to take notes, and he in falling in love with his Literature Professor. In general he is making a mockery of everything that he is supposed to be doing. When finals come due, all of his homework assignments are questioned and he is forced to take all of his tests one on one with his teachers. He studies hard and crams and passes everything. This is a typical Rodney Dangerfield movie and it is good lighthearted fun. You will enjoy this film.Read full review
The protagonist is a self made millionaire who wants to bond with his son. He gives lessons in reality to snooty professors and catches a new Lady friend in the process. Oh yeah, he and his son get along fine. Its a laugh a minute fun fest. Well done all around. My wife is not a Dangerfield fan, she was laughing all the way thru.
