Sun tan lotion is good, hair conditioner is good and nudey magazine day is even better in the world of Billy Madison, played by Adam Sandler in his best role yet.
Although this film was 1995, and I was only 6 when it was released, I have watched this film back over the years and I would say it is probably one of my favourite films of all time. Even if you don't like Adam Sandler as an actor, it's hard not to like Billy Madison as he battles against time to take over his dads billion dollar company.
The reason he is battling against time is after finding out that his dad paid the teachers to grade him well through school, he makes a deal with his father. If he had complete school grades 1-12 in two weeks for each grade he will takeover the Madison Hotel industry. If Billy fails, the evil man trying to cheat the Madison's out of all their money will take the company over.
Sounds like the script for a predictable family film you could watch at Christmas, however be warned the PG rating means you should probably watched this film before showing it to your children. There are references to nudity and swearing.
Going through school won't be easy for Billy though, as he isn't the smartest or fastest boy in the world. Seeing him go from someone who lays about by the pool all day to someone who is trying to accomplish something is an interesting transformation, and there's extra storylines along the way such as; the penguin he sees when he's drunk and a love interest in one of his school teachers.
On the music side of things there isn't really anything to comment on, it just fits in where it is. I would definitly recommend this film to everyone and it could be a great stocking filler as you're looking at picking up a film on DVD that is now 11 years old. Stands the test of time brilliantly.
