Synopsis "A big belly-laugh ofia comedy!" - Los Angeles Times This title has been discontinued by the studio for the time being. A new version will be made available in the future and it will be announced at that time Rodney 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! "Dangerfield is sensational" (The Hollywood Reporter) in this howlingly funny comedy that scores an A+!

Empire Review No Respect my tuckus! - 3 out of 5  (3/28/2000) You know: Rodney Dangerfield has had a pretty good career for a guy who gets no respect. "Back To School" is it the best example of that. The film was made for less than a million dollars and it went to gross over eighty times that amount. No respect my tuckus! Rodney Dangerfield plays Thornton Melon, a self-made millionaire who owns a chain of tall and fat clothing stores. Melon is a very nice guy with good business sense and an understanding of the ways to   more >> Customer Review Newer edition - 3.25 out of 5  (8/25/2003) Very funny movie. I just wanted to mention that MGM just re-released this DVD and there are a couple of changes. One is that the widescreen presentation is now anamorphic and the audio is in dolby digital 5.1. Also the 4 page booklet is no longer part of the package, but with the improved audio and visual it's an acceptable trade. Best of all, the price for this dvd has been lowered to match MGM's cheapie line.   more >>
