This movie should inspire us all to go back.

When Thornton Melon was a young lad, his hard-working father told him that he was a Melon and could do anything, but without a formal education, he was nothing. But Thornton instead went into business and made a fortune. Today, he has a son and told him that he is also a Melon and can do anything. He sends his son to college to get a formal education. Soon he finds his son can use some help and that tempered with a divorce spears Thornton to finally get the education he missed. Rodney has been in many films. However, this is the one I will always relate to. Aside from his one-liners and "I get no respect" gags, he does a good job of bringing out the best (and worst) about college. I will admit that he does not look like Bing Crosby in "High Time" (1960); however, we have just as much fun watching him adjust and then do one better. One of my favorite parts is when he has Kurt Vonnegut Jr. helping Thoron with his homework; that is called delegation. One annoying part of school is when someone says there is so much “picture framing material” and asks How do you make a picture twice as wide as it is high? People usually measure the picture for the frame. So when the professor said Let's build a factory and Thornton Melon asks What are you going to make? I almost fell off my seat.
