VHS Movie Reviews of Back to School [VHS]
Movie Review: Classless Dangerfield Getting Class a Classic Laff Riot
Summary: 5 Stars
Even uglier than The Ugly American, Rodney Dangerfield pillories not only the boorish nouveaux riches but also self-important academicians. Vonnegut's cameo defense of Dangerfield's book report reminds us of the English teachers described in his Breakfast of Champions. They tell students "that they were unworthy to speak or write their language if they couldn't love or understand incomprehensible novels ... about people long ago and far away, such as Ivanhoe." Movie not recommended for people who have no life. Not suitable for those who resemble Grant Woods' Iowa Gothic couple. Rated AANT: Adults not admitted without teenage or 20-something children.Movie Review: a classic movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This version of Back To School has a couple of extras about the man who got no respect and where the line came from! For those who have never seen this. Rodney Dangerfield stars is this comedy and show a comical view at business, school, and the new york italian sort of comedy.Movie Review: John in San Diego
Summary: 5 Stars
As usual, Amazon. Com and it's associated vendors provided outstanding, prompt service. I received this feature under the stated shipping arrival time, and the product quality was outstanding.Movie Review: Great comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is Rodney Dangerfield at his best. There are good contributions from a number of other actors and a funny appearance by Sam Kinison, but Dangerfield is the star. I cannot too highly recommend Back to School--you can even watch it over and over. One of the funniest comedies I've ever watched. Movie Review: Back to school is almost back to the past
Summary: 4 Stars
Not so fine as in first time I saw it when I was 17 years old. I think it was most exciting due as teen, I feel the same about parents, now many years after I don't agree in all.
This picture is suitable for a relaxed sunday afternoon, it is funny and you can have a good time.
If you look for a state-of-art film... your are in the wrong place.
Summary of Back to School [VHS]
In the mid-1980s, standup comic Rodney Dangerfield underwent a renewed wave of popularity, finding a surprisingly enthusiastic baby-boomer audience. What else to do but make a movie that shows off Dangerfield's alternately knowing and boorish humor? This may not be on the AFI list of great films, but it delivers laughs aplenty in its story of a rough-edged tycoon who made his fortune in clothes for the stout and tall and decides to attend college in order to be closer to his son (Keith Gordon). There's not much plot, but lots of room for Dangerfield's one-line riffs. The goggle-eyed comic veteran displays surprising charm, enough to make his romance with professor Sally Kellerman believable. Look for cameos by late comedian Sam Kinison and author Kurt Vonnegut Jr. --Marshall FineFighting the System Video
