Editorial Reviews

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. Even non-Dangerfield fans can enjoy Back to School because his character is appealing and the story has some semblance to credibility. The film was lensed on the campus of the University of Wisconsin, which never looked better. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

March 12, 2009: But mostly I always watch it for the Oingo Boingo cameo. :)

June 11, 2002: The jokes are familiar and still funny after seeing them countless times. This is more than Rodney getting respect, this is a homage to his comedic genius. When Kurt Vonnegut gets a failing grade for (ghost) writing an essay on his own book, BACK TO SCHOOL passes with flying colors. High honors.
