Rodney Dangerfield, with a fluffier and less funny hairdo, is "the world's oldest living freshman". This marks him as a fun guy and B.M.O.C. to anyone who isn't a square or snob. The hairdo is the tipoff: the whole point is to ingratiate him with the young (i.e., the bulk of the moviegoing public), at the expense of his contemporaries and his own integrity.

Rodney Dangerfield at his best, but that's not enough to carry the film.

Fun to watch, but a bit risque. Not something I'd watch with kids around. this theme was interesting, if a bit farcical, and the young college kids theme is by now worn completely out.

The funny scenes and memorable cameos (loved the one with Sam Kinison) provide the entertainment here, and luckily, neither the director or Dangerfield's supporting cast fucks it up, as they concentrate on pacing and feel-good humor. It has some slow parts in the middle, and some of Rodney's jokes bomb hard, (I never considered him more than a "pretty good" stand-up comedian) but overall, it's an enjoyable 80's comedy.

This movie has a few funny moments but not quite enough to recommend it. a young Robert Downey Jr. has a supporting role in this movie. If you really like Rodney Dangerfield then you have a better chance of really enjoying this comedy.

The script and direction don't help much, but Dangerfield is very funny and (yes!?) very moving too. Add a wonderful cameo by Sam Kinniston as a crazy Vietnam vet history prof, and you have something worth watching. Once. (I have to admit, though, that I like it so much I've watched it three times at least.)
