Short summary

Micromanaging Barry and Erica's college searches pits Beverly against a rival meddling mom. Erica tells Pops that her efforts to enhance her college prospects are based on lies.

The picture of Barry that Beverly hangs up around the school of him is a photo from when Troy Gentile (Barry) played a part in the remake of Bad News Bears.

While Erica and Beverly are checking out schools, you can see in the background Xavier school. This is a reference to Xavier school for mutants in the marvel comics.

The song played during the final scene is "Africa", by Toto.

    Two Goldberg parents, two different wars. Beverly scrapping with a rival helicopter mom, and Murray in an irrational standoff with a rental store over a movie. The Beverly side of things is pure fluff, but the snarky video store clerk (Martin Starr in an ideal role) helps liven up the other half. And in the end, the resolution between father is son is both sincere and gratifying.

    6/10
