Billy Madison is one of my all-time favorite Adam Sandler films. It will keep you laughing, that's for sure!
August 12, 2008Billy Madison (Adam Sandler), an immature adult, is forced to go back to school and repeat every grade in the space of 6 months, in order to prove to his father that he is capable of taking over the family business.
I am not an Adam Sandler fan and I probably would never have seen this film had I not stumbled across it on TV one night and seen the penguin. That's right, there's a giant, 6 foot, penguin in this film, which pretty much tells you what you're getting yourself in for if you watch this film. "Billy Madison" looks like your standard, mainstream American comedy, and in many ways, it is, but scattered throughout the film are all of these really weird scenes, reminiscent of something out of a Savage Steve Holland film (he wrote and directed "Better Off Dead" and "One Crazy Summer" - if you haven't seen these films, then you should), that make you wonder how this film ever got the green-light and make you want to hug whomever it was that did approve it. These weird scenes elevate this film to greatness, and even if you don't find them funny, they certainly make this a memorable film.

Billy (Sandler) is a kid who goes back to school to save his father's company. He plans to run all the way from kindergarten to 12th grade! I think Sandler is at his best in this comedy. I laughed for hours watching it! If you are an Adam Sandler fan, I DEFINATELY recommend this movie to you!!!

This is one of Adam Sandler's first movies and it is great. It has Chris Farley as the deranged bus driver as well. It is a slap stick comedy in which Adam Sandler shows his early work off, prior to stupid movies such as Zohan, and Click. This is the Adam Sandler I fell in love with; weird humor, drunken old frat boys, and lighting poo on the front porch.
June 16, 2008 In the movie Billy Madison and immature, lazy man must repeat grades 1-12 in order to inherit his father's hotel empire. It has stars in it like Adam Sandler and Chris
Farley.It is about an hour and thirty minutes but it is entertaining. Overall it is a pretty hilarious movie and viewers can see their favorite stars on DVD. This movie will make you laugh!!!
