FROM THE LINER NOTESRodney Dangerfield (Caddyshack, Meet Wally Sparks) makes the grade with this laugh-riot comedy that's in a class of its own! Higher education will never be the same when co-stars Sally Kellerman, Robert Downey, Jr., Sam Kinison, Ned Beatty and more join the maniac as he takes on the brainiacs! Thornton Melon's (Dangerfield) son is a college misfit, so Thornton's lending some fatherly support... by enrolling as a fellow freshman! Who cares if the owner of the "Tall and Fat" clothing empire never finished high school? Thornton's pockets are deep enough to buy a ticket to class... and hire NASA to do his homework! But when he ticks off his professor and then steals his girlfriend, Thornton takes things just a little too far. Now, he'll have to hit the books instead of his bank account or go back to being the world's wealthiest dropout!
REVIEW
Dangerfield had a big hit with this funny campus comedy. The Man-of-No-Respect shines as a crass but lovable millionaire who enrolls in his son's college, both getting an unexpected education. Gordon plays his son, and Downey is a fellow student. Good one-liners.
FAVORITE LINE
"Mr. Melon, your wife was just showing us her Klimt." "You too, huh? She's shown it to everybody!"
