Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The vibes, here, are all wrong, and Dangerfield's unique timing is disrupted in most scenes.
– Jay Boyar,
Orlando Sentinel,

rotten:
I mean no disrespect to Rodney Dangerfield in suggesting that Back to School is a comedy that belongs back on the drawing board.
– Desmond Ryan,
Philadelphia Inquirer,

fresh:
Dangerfield seems to be setting the film's brisk pace and flawless timing himself.
– Kevin Thomas,
Los Angeles Times,

fresh:
In this very funny Rodney Dangerfield comedy, there has been an important shift in Rodney's entertainment persona, a shift that has made this small film a monster hit.
– Gene Siskel,
Chicago Tribune,
16 Jan 2013
fresh:
It's a good character for Dangerfield, one that veers him away from the 'I don't get no respect' pathos that comes too easily to him, and enough attention is paid to the minimal plot to integrate Dangerfield's classically constructed one-liners.
