Plot: Self-made wealthy guy Rodney Dangerfield decides he needs a better education--and also to spend some time away from his cheating new wife. Dangerfield joins his son Keith Gordon at college. Dad hopes to gain his son's respect (isn't that always Dangerfield's motivation?), while son tries to fit in with his snobbish and brutish fellow students. English professor Sally Kellerman forms a strong bond with Dangerfield, encouraging both father and son to stick out their first year despite all odds. The finale involves some slapstick at the swimming pool diving board, and the obligatory commencement address delivered by Dangerfield, who proves that he can crack jokes without tugging at his tie. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This version of Back To School has a couple of extras about the man who got no respect and where the line came from! For those who have never seen this. Rodney Dangerfield stars is this comedy and show a comical view at business, school, and the new york italian sort of comedy.

As usual, Amazon. Com and it's associated vendors provided outstanding, prompt service. I received this feature under the stated shipping arrival time, and the product quality was outstanding.

Great comedy

This is Rodney Dangerfield at his best. There are good contributions from a number of other actors and a funny appearance by Sam Kinison, but Dangerfield is the star. I cannot too highly recommend Back to School--you can even watch it over and over. One of the funniest comedies I've ever watched.

Not so fine as in first time I saw it when I was 17 years old. I think it was most exciting due as teen, I feel the same about parents, now many years after I don't agree in all.
This picture is suitable for a relaxed sunday afternoon, it is funny and you can have a good time.
If you look for a state-of-art film... your are in the wrong place.
