Plot: Master of infantilism Adam Sandler stars as the title character, an overgrown rich kid who wiles away his days poolside, swilling kegs of beer and appreciating fine nudie magazines such as Drunk Chicks -- that is, until his father (Darren McGavin) decides to test his mettle as future head of the family business by posing a challenge: retake and pass grades K-12 in 24 weeks or watch control of the business pass to the requisite conniving underling (Bradley Whitford). Forced into action, Billy vows to change his drunken ways. He enrolls in kindergarten, makes new friends, pelts pint-sized kids with playground balls and develops a love interest in a pretty teacher (Bridgitte Wilson). The action culminates in an academic showdown between Billy and the purportedly Harvard-educated underling for the future of the family enterprise -- no small feat for a man fresh out of the first grade. There's gross, moronic, off-color low humor galore in Billy Madison, particularly in one subplot involving a romantically forward elementary school principal (Josh Mostel, son of theater great Zero Mostel) and his secret former life as a professional wrestler; another scene includes the hypertense school bus driver (Chris Farley, in a typical over-the-top cameo) lying in the meadow with a hallucinatory penguin. As one might suspect, Billy Madison is not for every taste; Sandler fans will laugh from start to finish; others beware. ~ Jeremy Beday, All Movie Guide

Billy Madison
Added 8/4/2009

This is a hilarious funny about Adam Sandler who has to go back to 1st grade to 12th grade to show his dad he is not a bum. He has to do this to take over his funny hotel business. This is a movie worth watching over and over again.

Title speaks for itself, but you might want to read other reviews! Due to the fact this is only my opinion.

One of the dumbest - and funniest - movies ever.
Added 3/25/2009

Adam Sandler's first major movie after joining the cast of Saturday Night Live has a very simple and somewhat unrealistic plot. The title character Billy Madison is the heir to the Madison Hotel fortune, but he's also a lazy and immature 30-year-old living off his father's money. So when his father decides to give the company to his rival, Billy makes a deal that if he repeats grades 1 - 12 to prove he's not an idiot, he can claim his inheritance. As Billy makes his way through each grade, getting an over-the-top party for each graduation, the low-brow comedy is delivered non-stop. Perhaps most notably, he goes on a class field trip, with Chris Farley as an obnoxious bus driver. Some of my favorite scenes, however, take place before he starts going back to school. Early in the movie we see Billy and his dopey friends pulling the old 'flaming bag of dog poo' prank, but with a hilarious new twist. And throughout the movie, there are many memorable quotes. This 'special ed-ition' DVD includes a number of new bonus features. Director Tamra Davis gives a feature-length commentary, and there's a half-hour of deleted scenes and outtakes. Overall, this is a great comedy that you don't have to be immature to enjoy. It has my seal of approval.
