Back to School

...after a while, you begin to look a little closer, and you realize that, amazingly, [Rodney Dangerfield is] giving a performance.

It's just as well that [Rodney Dangerfield] has so much charm and guile, because everything but his performance is pretty ghastly.

You would think, out of seven people, including Harold Ramis of "Ghostbusters" and Rodney Dangerfield, someone could have written a few funny lines. Wrong.

"Back to School" is a much funnier movie than this quirky, bug-eyed comedian's earlier "Easy Money," making for easy summer watching and very little cringing even for Dangerfield non-fans.
