Alan Metter

His film Back to School, starring Rodney Dangerfield as the blustering but well-meaning Thornton Melon, blends slapstick and sharp satire on academia and family dynamics.

Beyond Back to School, he also directed other lighthearted comedies that lean into eccentric characters and situational humor, crafting memorable moments without overplaying the laughs.
