Cedric the Entertainer heading to 'School'

LOS ANGELES, April 23 (UPI) -- Hollywood's MGM Studios is remaking the Rodney Dangerfield hit film "Back to School," with plans for Cedric the Entertainer to star.

The new version will be based loosely on the original screenplay, which Dangerfield co-wrote, about a fun-loving businessman who enrolls at his son's college to help the boy get through school, Friday's Hollywood Reporter said.

Dangerfield's "Back to School" grossed more than $91 million domestically when it was released in 1986.
