| Rating |  | | Date | July 27, 2005 | | Summary | Rodney Dangerfield-Gone But Not Forgotten | Content
 | This movie has to be one of the funniest & most original comedies ever. The scenes i laugh @ the most is where he is on the diving platform & makes armpit farts just before he dives. Then when he dives off his head cocks to the right, giving a crack up of a look on his face. The other scene that cracks me up is when his wife comes up to him with a married couple, Thornton looks at the other guy's wife & says "Yeah if that dress had pockets you'd look like a pool table" LOL, so halirious. A summary on the film, just a feel good comedy. Rodney Dangerfield, i wouldn't be surprised your'e laughing up in heaven right now. |

| I just hope Rodney finally gets the respect owed him! I frankly think that this is his best work! If you want to see a good screw ball comedy about University, then here you go! |
| Rating | | | Date | June 22, 2005 | | Summary | A Classic Comedy from a Classic Comic | Content
| Rodney Dangerfield is beyond hilarious in this movie about a multimillionaire who dumps his "promiscuous" wife and goes back to college to be with his son. This is full of Rodney's classic one-liners, like "They weren't so tough. Back in my day, after they sacked the quarterback, they went after his entire family." One of the funniest people in the movie is Sam Kinison as the History professor. It includes his classic top of the lung screaming that he does on his stand-up. This movie truly stands the test of times because many people can identify with it, just like many people can identify with Rodney. The movie is a genuine classic and must be seen to be believed.
RIP Rodney. You were truly one of a kind. |

| This movie stars the late Rodney Dangerfield in a very funny performance as millionaire businessman Thornton Mellon. Thornton learns that his son is not doing so well at College so he enrols in the same classes as his son in order to help him graduate. The late Sam Kennison is very funny as the History teacher which is an added bonus. This movie also stars Sally Kellerman as the English Literature Lecturer. Gee. I wish that my my English Lecturer at College would have looked as god as her!!!This movie once again proves my Theory that "Any Idiot Can Be Serious' and it takes a lot of imagination and intelligence to make people laugh. Rest In Peace Rodney and Sam. You are both sadly missed. |
| Rating | | | Date | January 27, 2005 | | Summary | Rodney at his best! | Content
| Rodney plays Thornton Mellon, a successful businessman married to Vanessa (Adrienne Barbiou) who fools around with any man she can find. Thornton does not really care because he is worried that his son Jason is failing in college and may drop out.
In order to keep his son in school, Thornton has to go there himself and do something he has never done - study for himself.
Thornton's problems are compounded by Phillip, the know-it-all Business professor who hates the street-smart Mellon. Phillip will do anything in his power to see that Mellon is expelled from school.
Thornton falls hard for his English teacher (Sally Kellerman) who happens to be dating Phillip, causing a bigger rivalry between Thornton and his teacher.
There are side splitting hilarious moments in this movie including a couple of tirades by Sam Kennison as the crazy history professor. One of the funniest movies I have seen! |
