I was in junior high when this film released. Even though it lied to me about what college would be like, I still love it. Go Lou!
Good enjoyable comedy. If you like Rodney you’ll love it
Classic Dangerfield. One of his better films. Love it.
The dive at the end is worth 3 stars alone. And oh, Rodney Dangerfield is dead-sexy.
Hilarious 80s screwball comedy that would never get made today. Rodney Dangerfield is a genius who would get CANCELLED for every joke!
Much better than I suspected it would be, great use of Dangerfield and his comedic stylings
One of Rodney’s classic movies. Some great laughs from a great comic
Is it good, no not really, is Dangerfield hilarious? Yes of course
This movie has not stood the test of time
Pretty funny. If you like Rodney Dangerfield, you'll like this.
