Review of Back to School (1986) by Kevin D — 09 Apr 2011
Big disappointment coming from a big Dangerfield fan. This is a cliched story and you know what the results will be, but it had an influence on Billy Madison and Old School. Rodney has a few good one liners here and there, but most of the gags failed and there weren't any big laughs.
The movie isn't even that entertaining. It seems like the great comedians always have difficulty bringing their humor onto the big screen (Richard Pryor for example). I do love the fact that this movie uses the word "fuck" a few times and has nudity in it despite being PG-13.
You've gotta love the MPAA in the 80's.
