It seems that Marlon Brando plays a parody of Vito Corleone in this movie, is it worth watching?

 It's one of my faves! I think it's a howl. Not as good as Analyze This but still good. It's a parody so don't expect anything enlightening. Rent it (or buy it PPV if you're like me and never return rentals, it's cheaper to buy it) and enjoy. Salute! 
"The Godfather was a man to whom everybody came for help and never were they disappointed. He made no empty promises, nor the craven excuse that his hands were tied by more powerful forces in the world than himself. It was not necessary that he be your friend, it was not even important that you had no means with which to repay him. Only one thing was required. That you, yourself, proclaim your friendship. And then, no matter how poor or powerless the supplicant, the Godfather would take that person's troubles to his heart. He would let nothing stand in the way to a solution of that person's woe. His reward? Friendship, the respectful title 'Don' and sometimes the more affectionate salutation of 'Godfather.' Perhaps, to show respect only, never for profit, some humble gift - a gallon or homemade wine or a basket of fresh baked goods on a holiday. It was understood to proclaim that you were in his debt and that he had the right to call upon you at any time to redeem the debt by some small service." -- Mario Puzo, The Godfather (1969).

Thanks for the answers guys. I don't expect The Freshmen to be a great movie, the thing is I liked so much of Vito Corleone in GF1 that I wanted to see the character again no matter in what film.
Hell I would even watch Scary Movie if Vito (Brando) was in it!
