The Freshman is a 1990 motion picture comedy starring Marlon Brando and Matthew Broderick, in which Brando parodies his portrayal of Don Corleone in The Godfather.

The plot revolves around quirky aspects such as Broderick's entanglement into an illicit business of offering exotic and endangered animals as specialty food items; Broderick's character, a first-year film student at New York University, is at one point tasked with delivering a Komodo Dragon for this purpose.
