Summary: This movie rules!!
Review: There are about 200 funny parts to this movie!! Every second of it your just laughing histerically! If you don't like this movie then you need to find another website that sells a sense of humor, cause you need one. If you haven't seen it yet, this is a very, very good movie to see next weekend.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not just an idiot movie
Review: Adam Sandler's Billy Madison never graduated or even accomplished much of anything. His rich father (Darren McGaven) is about to give up entirely and turn the family business over to the wicked Eric Gordon (Brad Whitford from "West Wing") when Billy steps up and offers a challenge: he'll put aside his dumb friends, finish grade school - pre-K through high school and defeat the evil Eric. Billy, whose days are spent idling with his loser friends over beer, is a longshot, but he pulls it together, falls in love, saves the family business and becomes a better person. This could have been the stupidest film if done by anybody else, but nobody seems to have mastered the art of mixing sentimentality with gross-out humor and mind numbingly funny laughs like Sandler. It's not "Waterboy", but Sandler gets some help from his co-stars, including Whitford as the evil Eric and Bridgette Wilson as Sandler's teacher and girlfriend, with some help by Josh Mostel as a principal with a dark secret, Chris Farley as a messed-up bus driver, but especially Steve Buscemi as a guy tormented by Billy when the two were children. A bunch of running gags thruoughout the flick are easy to miss the first time around, but jump out at you if you keep watching it (the O'douls, a family of bullies who make school life a hell for Billy, is something I missed at first) making it a great repeat-vie flick. In short, "Madison" is a great movie about morons that doesn't make you feel like one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the second funniest movie ever!
Review: This is the second funniest movie on the whole planet. The only thing that beats it is Jackass: The Movie. Okay, this is Adams best movie ever. What I don't get, is that theren't aren't hardly any special features on the DVD. There aren't any deleted scenes. Hold on, I remember a kickaball scene from when I saw this on T.V. But it is nowhere on the DVD. Weird. Here is my favorite quote. Old Man: Who the h*ll is it and waddya want? Dagnabit, its one of those flaming bags again. Wife: Don't put it out with you boots, Ted. Old Man: Don't tell me my bussines devil woman! Call the fire department, this one's outta control. (Stomps on bag, takes of shoe and smells it.) Awesome movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ONE OF SANDLER'S BEST MOVIES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I LOVE THIS ONE. This is one of my all-time favorite movies, it's hilarious, interesting and fun to watch.
I love the part of Mrs. Lippy reads the story "The Puppy Who Losts His Way" and when she finishes Sandlers says "YOU MOVE YOU A** OUT THERE AND YOU FIND THAT F***ING DOG!!!!". I almost die of laughter on that part. There are many more parts that are as good and even funnier than that one. You watch this one no matter how or what you do.


ADAM SANDLER ROCKS!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Makes us laugh like a comedy should
Review: This comedy does exactly what it should-a charismatic funnyman is presented with an amusing plot device (rich boy has to repeat all his schooling at an accelerated rate), and all of the expected gags are mixed in with a few unexpected gags (such as a hallucinated giant penguin). Sandler's shtick gets old after awhile, and the movie misses the mark of truly great comedies by failing to come up with any real warmth or drama, but the jokes keep coming and keep us chuckling.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The movie that made a comedy great
Review: Before Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, and Big Daddy, there was Billy Madison. Adam Sandler captured Billy Madison perfectly and since then he has went on to do great things. There are some funny parts in this movie and they are just simply classic. The Valentine's day part and the penguin halucination are among them. A comedy classic!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Billy Madison (1995)
Review: This movie is about a spoiled brat who doesn't know what he is doing. He gets jealous over the idea of his nemesis Eric owning Madison Hotels, so he creates a plan that he discusses with his father to get ownership. We see Billy go through school, but Eric tries to foil his plan by having the school's principal go on TV and lie about Billy.

This movie is stupid, but "That Veronica Vaughan is one piece of ace."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One Hilarious Movie
Review:
Billy Madison turns out to be a hilarious film in which Adam Sandler really begins to show some of his acting talent. Although it's one of Sandler's first movies, he shows complete control over his character and his techniques for creating characters no one has really thought of before. He does a terrific job playing the role of a drunken idiot as well as a hardworking student in the movie.
The movie starts off with Billy's father retiring from the family business and deciding whether to give the business to Billy or to a deceitful employee named Eric. When Billy's father decides it's safer to give the company to Eric, Billy becomes determined to show his father he is not a fool and can run the company. Sandler does a hilarious job acting as the ages of all the different students in school as he goes all the way back to kindergarten and tries to repeat every grade through high school. This movie contains a comical love story as well as good times and fun school memories that no one could forget.
Billy Madison is a must see for anyone who has experienced and loved Happy Gilmore, another one of Sandler's comedies. The two movies, which are now sold as a pair together many times, go hand in hand and really show Sandler in some of his best roles. Some of the other movies Sandler has been in are The Wedding Singer, Punch Drunk Love, Anger Management and 50 First Dates. I recommend all of these movies for anyone who can't get enough of Sandler. Billy Madison will most likely be a movie that will stand the test of time.
This movie, aside for a bit of cruel language, is perfect for the whole family to enjoy, and even though I can say I've watched it way too many times, I wouldn't hesitate to watch a few more. If you're unfamiliar with Adam Sandler, this is a great movie to try out and see some of his crazy antics as an actor. Billy Madison will make you laugh over and over again and will only get funnier every time you watch it.
