Reader Reviews
Thornton Mellon (the late Rodney Dangerfield) is an American success story. The son of immigrants, he has worked hard and used business savvy to get fabulously wealthy with his chain of "Tall and Fat" stores (with "a-frames" for the ladies and "The New Hindenberg Line" for men). But Mellon never made it to college, and now his son (Keith Gordon) is thinking of quitting school, too. Mellon ditches philandering trophy wife Vanessa (Adrienne Barbeau) and goes 'back to school' as a middle-aged, clueless freshman, to try and help his son. There is a great supporting cast including but not limited to a young Robert Downey, Jr. (roommate), College Dean Martin (Ned Beatty), the Diving Coach (M. Emmett Walsh), and a snobby foil (Paxton Whitehead). Sally Kellerman plays a surprisingly credible love interest and cameos by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. and Sam Kinnison round out the impressive cast. A good soundtrack and classic academia sets help the film along. But, in essence, BACK TO SCHOOL is a vehicle for the charming and ever-witty Rodney Dangerfield and his one liners ("The shape I'm in, you could donate my body to science fiction"). Don't expect anything serious or profound in this film, but it's gentle fun, holds up well after so many years, and has a consistently brilliant screenplay.
