Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/5 --
This guilty-pleasure comedy works best as a cinematic time capsule for the unique comic stylings of the late Rodney Dangerfield.

Rating: 3/4 --
In this very funny Rodney Dangerfield comedy, there has been an important shift in Rodney's entertainment persona, a shift that has made this small film a monster hit.

Chicago Tribune
It's a good character for Dangerfield, one that veers him away from the 'I don't get no respect' pathos that comes too easily to him, and enough attention is paid to the minimal plot to integrate Dangerfield's classically constructed one-liners.

...[The dialog] is complemented with a corresponding number of pseudo-serious gags...
Variety
Rating: 3/5 --
Well-written, tightly-edited triviality, with really likable characters and actors working hard to make it seem pointlessly easy.

...A big belly laugh of a comedy...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 2/4 --
I mean no disrespect to Rodney Dangerfield in suggesting that Back to School is a comedy that belongs back on the drawing board.

Product Description:
A self-made millionaire decides to join his only son who is having difficulty in fitting in at school as a freshman in college. This impulse gesture sets him on a path to much laughter, a little romance, a lesson in things that money can't buy, and unanimous acclaim as the most popular man on campus.
