The profoundly strange presence of Rodney Dangerfield triumphs over sloppy writing and lumpy editing in this sometimes raunchy farce.

One of the brightest (and least pretentious) comedies of the past quarter-century, the 1986 box office hit Back to School is the sort of film that's easy to watch repeatedly over the years.

Dangerfield proves once again why he's one of the funniest men on screen.

This is at best a flyweight summer movie.

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.

Back to School is furious fun.

The vibes, here, are all wrong, and Dangerfield's unique timing is disrupted in most scenes.

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.

Classic '80s comedy has lots of profanity, innuendo.

Dangerfield seems to be setting the film's brisk pace and flawless timing himself.

I mean no disrespect to Rodney Dangerfield in suggesting that Back to School is a comedy that belongs back on the drawing board.
