Review of Back to School (1986) by Jay Boyar for Orlando Sentinel — 29 Dec 2005
The most jarring casting mistake (even more jarring than the miscasting of Dangerfield) involves Keith Gordon, who plays Thornton's son. Gordon, who has shown himself to be an intense and quirky actor in such films as Christine and Dressed to Kill, is a smoldering presence in what ought to be a light, comic role.
His psycho-killer eyes just don't fit here.
