    Without any spoilers, this is one of Rodney Dangerfield's best movies comically. I would recommend this for those age 18 and up.

    THE STORY (contains mild spoilers): Rodney plays Thornton Melon, a successful 'Tall & Fat' clothing store tycoon who enrolls in college in order to spend time with (and bolster the confidence of) his waffling, seemingly unpopular son, who only wants to drop out and get a regular job. In typical blustery Dangerfield fashion, Thornton takes over the campus and inadvertently ends up further alienating his son, who just can't seem to get out from under the shadow of his popular father.

    THOUGHTS: Probably my favorite Rodney Dangerfield film, not including his guest-star role in the classic CADDYSHACK. Rodney seems relaxed and confident in this film and the laughs come more naturally and don't seem as forced or like bits of stand up that are inserted into the script. He has a natural affinity with Keith (CHRISTINE) Gordon, who plays his son, Jason. It is actually a really good film in its own right and the Dangerfield bits are just a big, hilarious bonus. There are some strong supporting turns by actors Ned Beatty and the lovely Sally Kellerman (she looks scrumptious in all of the simple-yet-elegant outfits she wears), and a side-splitting bit part by the late, great 'scream-comedian' Sam Kinison. Burt Young, ("Paulie" from the ROCKY films), is Thornton's chauffeur/best friend, the gruff, lovable Lou. Adrienne Barbeau and Robert Picardo have small but memorable roles as Thorton's adulteress wife and her flaky Latin lover. It was also great fun to watch the hilarious performance by a young Robert Downey, Jr., playing Derek Lutz, the oddball roommate of Thornton's son. You could see even then that his rapid, smart delivery, quick-wit and comedic timing were already fairly well-honed. He would go on to snag a few other excellent roles, then hit a rather rough patch in his life & career, before eventually blasting his way to movie superstardom as quirky "billionaire genius playboy philanthropist" Tony Stark/Iron Man in the wildly popular Marvel Comics series of films. (It's quite obvious that at some time in the past Downey got his teeth fixed, too.)

    THE BLU-RAY: Now the not so good news. Once again, poor Rodney Dangerfield gets no respect. The Blu-ray presentation of BACK TO SCHOOL looks passable but sadly is nothing to write home about. Lots of pixelation & video noise in low light scenes. Audio is solid & level, thankfully. There are some decent bonus features included on this Blu-ray that offset the lackluster presentation. This is NOT a reference copy of the film by any means. If you don't have this film then it's still worth it if you like Dangerfield. Perhaps one day it will get a proper crisp, razor-sharp well-balanced transfer, but until then this Blu-ray is still a recommended purchase because it can be had for just over $5 (used) here on Amazon. That's a deal. 5 STARS for the film, minus 1 STAR for the crummy transfer.

    Rodney got no respect! Yeah right! He was one of the best comedians of all times. When a youngster got a compliment from him, it was worth it's weight in gold.
    This is one of his better movies. Again, Caddyshack did a wonderful job for showcasing his talents, but this one is right up there in the top.
    This movie is definitely out there on some of the stunts pulled, but I would be willing to bet, if one thought about it, they knew people in college that were similar. If not, that person went to a way serious school, which meant they didn't have much fun. The acting is crazy. The characters are larger than real life, but I can't think of anyone in there I despised. The story line was real. Deal with school the best way you can if you are going to stay. Thornton just didn't want his kid to suffer up the ranks like he did. And yes, us parents are willing to do just about anything we can for our kids. If it is in our power, we will. Well... Maybe not hire NASA to do the astronomy papers.
    The disc is not crisp, but when it was made, it looked just like it did when I saw it in the theaters. Some people don't like perfect technology, but for me it is a good reminder of the time of the movie. It's like Gone With The Wind. I don't think having it in color does it justice. It is an old movie, shoe me that. Back To School gets the same echo.

    This movie is amazing from start to finish! I couldn’t stop laughing. I’m so glad I purchased this movie. It’s a classic. Rodney Dangerfield is amazing as the lead character and loving father in the movie. Keith Gordon as the lovable, handsome son. Robert Downey Jr as the supportive, lovable, handsome roommate, Terry Farrell as the beautiful love interest for the son, and Sally Kellerman as one of the teachers. Everyone does an amazing job! I would so recommend it! I love this movie!

    Have always liked the movie, being genuinely funny and the perfect vehicle for Dangerfield. The laughs are plentiful without being mean, and even the romantic sub-plot plays out without feeling forced or unnecessary. Great support from Burt (Rocky) Young, Keith (Christine) Gordon, Sally (M*A*S*H) Kellerman and Robert (moneybags) Downey Jr really make the whole thing work. It's one of the best comedies of the 80s, and worth seeking out, especially in its rather nice Blu-ray form.

    * Contrary to the information listed in the Amazon description, the American Blu-ray disc is NOT region-A locked. I have a multi-region machine and have tried it when setting it to region-B and it plays perfectly. So what are you waiting for????

     初めて見たのはVHSだった。 よくわからないが劇場公開はされてないのではないだろうか。
    好きなわけは、後半部分に 主人公のソルトン氏が デイラン トーマス という詩人のポエムを暗証、朗読するシーンがあるのだが、そのシチュエーションと詩の内容にとても感激したからなのです。
     Blu-ray が到着したら、その詩の部分 静かに夜を迎えるな? を英語で暗記してみようと思います。
    追記。
    本日、到着しました。 待ち遠しい13日間でした。
    さっそく、視聴してみると当たり前のことですが、VHSと違いBlu-rayは画質はきれいで、操作性も抜群でした。
