In the 1980's Rodney Dangerfield was on top of his game. He was a huge stand-up comedian and he stole the show in Caddy Shack. This movie features the guy everyone loved to hate (the arch nemesis of The Karate Kid), William Zabka as well as the late, great Sam Kinison. I'd totally forgotten that Robert Downey Jr. was in this movie and honestly, it's worth watching, just for him in my opinion.  Although this movie (as with pretty much all 80's movies) wouldn't fly in this current age of political correctness with the fat jokes, female nudity (albeit it brief), the word "midget" and other "no-no's," this is a pretty funny movie and 80's time capsule.  I feel like Rodney Dangerfield worked all of his famous 1-liners into this one and his facial expressions when he delivers them are wonderful to watch.  I knew this movie wasn't going to score enough points to land on the 100 but I wanted to watch it anyway just to check out the 80's fashion and again, take a look at "Iron Man" in his New Wave glory. At his commencement speech, Rodney Dangerfield famously says, "to all the graduates, as you go out into the world, don't go. It's rough out there. Move back in with your parents. Let them worry about it!" Sage advice indeed!
