Back to School

Self-made wealthy guy Thornton Melon's (Rodney Dangerfield) son (Keith Gordon) is a college misfit, so Thornton decides to lend some fatherly support by enrolling as a fellow freshman! Dad hopes to gain his son's respect, while son tries to fit in with his snobbish and brutish fellow students. Thornton's pockets are deep enough to buy a ticket to class...and hire NASA to do his homework! But when he ticks off his professor - and then steals his girlfriend - Thornton takes things just a little too far. He might well be on his way to being the world's wealthiest dropout! With Sally Kellerman, Burt Young, Adrienne Barbeau, Robert Downey Jr., Sam Kinison and Ned Beatty as Dean Martin.
