Movie Reviews of Billy Madison (Widescreen Special Edition)
Movie Review: One of the dumbest - and funniest - movies ever.
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Summary of Billy Madison (Widescreen Special Edition)
No Description Available.Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: PG13
Release Date: 23-AUG-2005
Media Type: DVD
For Adam Sandler fans only, this dopey comedy features the former Saturday Night Live star as an overindulged rich guy whose father insists he repeat grades 1 through 12 before taking over the family business. The scenario is perfect for Sandler's infantile leanings (which he has fortunately outgrown in more recent movies), and for the most part the jokes about being too old and too big for the experiment are obvious. Chris Farley and Steve Buscemi turn up in uncredited cameo appearances, but otherwise the film is pretty dismissible, except for those diehards who can't get enough of Sandler. --Tom Keogh
