Self-made millionaire Thornton Melon decides to get a better education and enrolls at his son Jason's college. While Jason tries to fit in with his fellow students, Thornton struggles to gain his son's respect, giving way to hilarious antics.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"The movie 'Back to School' is a pure comedy centered around a father enrolling in college to support his son. There are no indications that Christmas plays any role in the setting, plot, themes, or resolution of the narrative."
