Back to school Back to school to prove to dad I'#39;m not a fool... Awesome movie
THE classic Adam Sandler. If you like his humour, this movie is a must.
I grew up watching this movie. Revisiting it in 20 years thanks to the new 4k and the opening act is way too stupid but it gets funnier once he makes the deal with his dad. It's not the type of humor for everyone.
I really enjoyed this Adam Sandler's comedy, it was so funny, it's a brilliant film to watch 10:heart:- Masterpiece :100: 9:heart:- Excellent 8:heart: - Amazing :ok_hand: 7:heart:- Great :sun_with_face: 6:heart: - Good :thumbsup: 5:heart: - Average :head_bandage: 4:heart: - Bad but watchable :octagonal_sign: 3:heart: - Bad :sob: 2:rage:- Awful :face_vomiting: 1:face_with_symbols_over_mouth: - Bull Shit
_Billy Madison_ is a hilarious 90's comedy that delivers on laughs and absurdity. The film showcases Adam Sandler's comedic talents and features a memorable supporting cast. While the humor may not be for everyone, it's a great comedy for those who enjoy Happy Madison productions. The film has a timeless quality to it and remains a classic of 90's comedy. Overall, _Billy Madison_ is a must watch for fans of the genre and will have you laughing from start to finish.
this is a hilarious fun feel good comedy Adam Sandler at his best!!
This is one of the two movies (along with Happy Gilmore) that put Adam Sandler on the table. But unlike Happy Gilmore this one is too much goofy for me, with a lot of primitive stupid jokes. It's definitely one of the sides of Adam Sandler, considering he has several movies like that when he's playing some sort of retarded idiot, but it's just not for me.
Alright premise, but the film itself is mostly annoying. It's one of those movies that people sometimes cite as a "good" Adam Sandler comedy, along with Happy Gilmore and The Waterboy, but I don't see it. Sandler is a superb dramatic actor, but he doesn't have the chops for comedy.
Born right in the heart of the golden era of SNL goofball idiot comedy, this lands somewhere near the middle of the pack in terms of overall watchability. It'#39;s a completely moronic premise that serves as nothing more than a thin vehicle to move from one throwaway sight gag to the next, but never has any illusions about evolving into something bigger. The film sticks with its bread and butter, a series of skits that would'#39;ve been right at home on a particularly brainless episode of SNL, while dedicating as little time as possible to furthering the plot. Fortunately, many of the jokes and puns are still genuinely funny, although the ratio between those that kill and those that go down in flames is pretty weak when compared to some of its contemporaries. A few great one-liners from this one still pop up in my vocabulary today, but not with anywhere near the frequency of the best moments from Wayne'#39;s World or Tommy Boy. Like the original Ace Ventura, it hasn'#39;t aged spectacularly but there are worse ways to kill ninety minutes.
Adam Sandler was funny in this movie. Lol.
I thought it was a okay, overall really silly movie. There were a lot of leaps the plot took and some of the writing was half-baked, but comedy isn'#39;t really a genre that focuses on that kind of stuff anyways. It left me wanting more it terms of character development or an overall bigger message at the end. If crude humor offends you, probably shouldn'#39;t watch this movie. But if you have some time to spare and you want to watch something fairly mindlessly, this could do the trick. If you'#39;re a fan of Adam Sandler, this where his career really started taking off. It has enough endearing moments to pull at your heartstrings. But you'#39;re definitely either going to be cringing at or laughing at Adam Sandler'#39;s gags in this movie.
I'#39;M THE SMARTEST MAN IN THE WORLD!

_Billy Madison_ is a comedy that shows off Adam Sandler's unique style of humor. The movie is about a grown man named Billy Madison, played by Sandler, who has to go back to school and complete every grade to prove he’s ready to take over his father’s business. The plot is silly, but that’s what makes the movie fun. Adam Sandler plays Billy in a goofy and over-the-top way, which is what fans of his style love. He brings a lot of energy to the character, and his childish antics are what make the movie entertaining. The humor is mostly slapstick and includes a lot of silly jokes and funny situations. If you enjoy Sandler’s brand of comedy, you’ll likely find _Billy Madison_ very funny. However, this movie may not be for everyone. The humor can be quite silly and immature at times, which might not appeal to people who prefer more serious or subtle comedies. Some might find the jokes a bit too simple or overdone. Overall, _Billy Madison_ is a movie that fans of Adam Sandler will appreciate. It's filled with his typical humor and has many moments that you would expect from his films. If you like comedies that are light-hearted and don’t take themselves too seriously, _Billy Madison_ is worth watching.

This is the very 1st Adam Sandler movie I ever seen. I was dying with laughter throughout this movie. Now I'm a hugh Adam Sandler fan. Stop looking at me swan.
