Playing a millionaire businessman, Rodney Dangerfield (in a totally natural casting choice) decides to enroll in college to help support his son’s collegiate efforts. Having never been to college himself (millionaire businessmen don’t need college, after all), Dangerfield’s character becomes the star student, throwing massive parties and hitting on hot professors. Often called a lesser Animal House, this romp through comedic silver presents Dangerfield in his element, throwing around acerbic one-liners like they’re going out of style. Some other things that Animal House doesn’t have? Oingo Boingo, Sam Kinison and a young Robert Downey Jr.
