"The Freshman" is a very entertaining and satisfying film on every level when it could have been nothing more than a one joke, one dimensional novelity based upon the very appetising prospect not of a Komondo dragon banquet, but of watching Marlon Brando successfully reprising his Academy Award winning triumph as Don Vito Corleone purely for laughs this time around. Of course, this limited idea would have been absolutely exhausted in no time at all, so it is incredibly fortunate there is a solid story worth bothering about which is extremely well structured and enjoyably developed and humor which is especially worth relishing as Clark Kellogg (Matthew Broderick) inexorably finds himself sinking ever deeper into a life threatening quagmire.
