Those who have read my opinions will know that I am a big fan of Adam Sandler and Billy Madison is no exception.
Billy Madison is again one of Sandlers more ... How do I put this, gag to gag films. The narrative really does nothing except push you to the next gag.
Billy Madison did nothing with his life after highschool except drink dacharies get stoned and wait for the new nudie mags to arrive in the post. Seeing Billy like this his father is almost persuaded to completley cut Billy out of the family business and pass it on to the next in command and Billy's arch nemesis. Billy finds out his father paid his way through highschool and has no faith in him at all. So he makes a deal, he will go back to highschool and pass every grade in two weeks if he does that the business is his.
Now don't get me wrong I liked this film Its classic Sandler, the penguin and the bus driver is hilarious but there are moments when the film falls flat, small but there.
Billy Madison is not a remarkable movie and certainly wouldn't win any Oscars but if you want nothing but to sit back, relax and laugh you couldn't go wrong.

Great op! This film made me laugh quite alot, but I feel that Adam Sandlers best film was The Wedding Singer. Thanx, Gary.
