Movie Reviews of Billy Madison (Widescreen Special Edition)
Movie Review: This film is weird
Summary: 5 Stars
Billy Madison (Adam Sandler), an immature adult, is forced to go back to school and repeat every grade in the space of 6 months, in order to prove to his father that he is capable of taking over the family business.
I am not an Adam Sandler fan and I probably would never have seen this film had I not stumbled across it on TV one night and seen the penguin. That's right, there's a giant, 6 foot, penguin in this film, which pretty much tells you what you're getting yourself in for if you watch this film. "Billy Madison" looks like your standard, mainstream American comedy, and in many ways, it is, but scattered throughout the film are all of these really weird scenes, reminiscent of something out of a Savage Steve Holland film (he wrote and directed "Better Off Dead" and "One Crazy Summer" - if you haven't seen these films, then you should), that make you wonder how this film ever got the green-light and make you want to hug whomever it was that did approve it. These weird scenes elevate this film to greatness, and even if you don't find them funny, they certainly make this a memorable film.
Summary of Billy Madison (Widescreen Special Edition)
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 KeoghNo Description Available.
