Rodney Dangerfield’s turn in Back to School (1986) was once a staple of Comedy Central reruns. Before that, it was an honest to goodness box office hit. An artifact of another era from the moment it was made, Back to School is a hilarious film about gatekeepers, higher education, and status anxiety.
The plot centers on a wealthy but uneducated father (Dangerfield) who goes to college to show solidarity with his discouraged son Jason (Keith Gordon) and learns that he cannot buy an education or happiness. (via Wikipedia.)
