BILLY MADISON, in my opinion, is totally hilarious! I laughed really hard when Old Man Clemens (Jack Mather) yelled, "D*** kids! You're all gonna die!" as well as when Billy (Adam Sandler), Jack (Mark Beltzman), and Frank (Norm Macdonald) goofed off. In my opinion, Miss Vaughn (Bridgette Wilson) looked very pretty in the white dress she wore the first time she came to Billy's house. I didn't like Eric (Bradley Whitford) one bit. This was because he was a diabolical a****** who wanted to take over Madison Hotels. In conclusion, I highly recommend this totally hilarious comedy to all of you who like gut-busting laughs or are fans of Adam Sandler.
Complete dumbass Billy, (played by the hilarious Adam Sandler) goes back to repeat the first 12 grades of school he failed growing up, in oder to inherit his rich dad's successful motel business. Sandler is at his comic best - whether it's the never-ending classroom gags, the lighting &%#$ on fire or the chasing of imaginary penguins, he'll no doubt have you rolling round on the floor. His second-best comic role to date, only just trailing 'Happy Gilmore'. Grab some of your friends around get some beer, some chips, sit back and start laughing.
I like this movie. I really do. I don't understand why it didn't get good reviews, for the most part. I think it's a great and funny movie. This movie is about Billy Madison, hence the title. A 27-year-old son of a very rich man, so Billy hasn't had to do anything. Billy wants to run his father's company one day, but discovers that he needs to go back to school. It turns out that his Dad paid for him to pass school ever since the first grade. Billy must go and repeat the twelve grades, but don't worry, it doesn't take twelve years. He spends two weeks in each grade and then moves to the next one. Billy gets along with the kids very well, since he is very childish. He actually makes some good friends. He eventually falls for one of his teachers, who is actually age appropriate. In the end, everything works out, just like it almost always does. Overall, I give this episode an 8 out of 10.
Billy Madison is an older Sandler film of his 1990 era. Sandler plays the title character Billy, an irresponsible whose father (Darren McGavin) is a wealthy hotel mogul ready to retire. His father wants to turn over the business to his son, but Billy spends his days drinking and messing around with his friends. Of course this film is very silly and over the top and that is its intention completely, The inevitable scenes of a full grown man sitting in a too small chair set the tone for the rest of the film. When Billy hits third grade, he falls for his teacher (Bridgette Wilson), and when he makes it to high school and is tortured by the other kids, he remembers how badly he treated kids back when he went to school the first time. Ultimately the film is quite silly and predictable though it does contain several laughs. It starts out very rough and quite boring then becomes generally better in the middle.
even though this film is still rubbish and Adam Sandler was pretty bad in it too its still probably the best Sandler movie of the nineties the film is basically about Adam Sandler being stupid as usual and his dad is a multi millionaire that really wants to give the company to him. but before his dad is willing to give him the company Sandler has to go through each year of school in the space of a month to prove that he can run said company its not a good film but i managed to watch all of it and i didn't hate it, hence why i'm rating it three stars. i don't understand why Adam Sandler has to be so stupid in nearly all his films. he pulls the same faces and shouts the same bull s**t in every film hes in this film is OK i guess if your under 13 years old but for anyone else out there this film isn't good......... 3/10.........j.d Seaton
Okay first off, I cant stand Adam Sandler, he's an annoying Actor. But to give him credit he has done good movies and bad movies. Good movies such as Happy Gilmore, Click, The Wedding Singer, I now Pronounce you Chuck and Larry etc. Because he can do serious roles and also have the comedy. But this film...makes me feel so dumb while watching it and at the end I felt like i had to go back to school to be taught what GOOD films to watch. The jokes are terrible, some scenes are completely pointless. But there have been times when Sandler makes so much noise I really want to punch him in his face. I give this film 2 stars because it's bad but not the worst.
This film is Adam Sandler at his most brash. His material is quite hit-and-miss and this one in particular is not one of his best works (for me, my favourites are Little Nicky and Click). As usual he plays a rather uncouth young man but this time it comes across as pathetic rather than endearing. The best part was the harsh speech though!
