| Darren McGavin may have left us, but this movie never will. (by lee_eisenberg) |
| The 10/10 rating of course only applies if you like goof-ball lowly humor; if you don't, then avoid this movie like you would the Ebola virus. As the title character, Adam Sandler does what you might expect. Also starring are Darren McGavin RIP , Bridgette Wilson, Bradley Whitford, Josh Mostel, Steve Buscemi, and Chris Farley. All in all, "Billy Madison" is stupid and funny at the same time, just like "A Night at the Roxbury" and "Dude, Where's My Car?".And one more thing. Darren McGavin, wherever you are, I'll not only remember you for "The <more> |
| Historical Feat (by w_irwin26) |
| This film is just short of being to film making what Jackson Pollock is to painting. Like Pollock's paintings, everything is on the surface. There are no deeper issues. It is just funny. Unbelievably funny.Purely funny films have been made before, but no movie has such well-timed idiotic exchanges like when Karl and Eric spat about Triscuits. Who would have known moments like these would be so brilliant? Some classic lines include:"I kind of feel like an idiot sometimes but then I am an idiot so it kind of works out." "Ta-ta-Today Junior!" "The C is silent!" <more> |
| amazing comedy with Adam sandler as the main character (by ryanment) |
| This movie is a gut buster. You will be laughing so hard your abs will hurt. I love movies with Adam sandler in them because he is such an amazing actor he can play any character and succeed. The whole movie you'll be hoping for one thing but another thing will happen. This movie is such a good movie for movie night at the house with the bros or with your family. This is just an overall great comedy. The end of the movie is the best a real end to a great movie. This movie just happens to be my favorite movie. It brings back great memories and no matter what it can make me laugh. I hope <more> |
| I Laughed my balls off!! (by Quinoa1984) |
| Billy Madison in a landslide is Adam Sandler's best film. I never laughed so hard. Maybe the humor is a little stupid, but that is because before seeing this movie, you have to make sure your brain is not in Fellini mode and in Sandler mode.Story revolves around Billy Madison, who must go back to school he is 27 and graduate High School so he can take over his father's hotel ring. His whole odyssey is utterly hilarious from start to finish. Especially because he has cameos and stars like Norm MacDonald, Steve Buscemi, and Chris Farley as a Penguin lover that penguin hadn't made <more> |
| One Of Adam Sandler's Best (by vince200002000) |
| As a comedian, Adam Sandler does great on all of his comedy films but this one will always stand as one of his best most funniest films. The plot is very ridiculous, but in a way that makes it truly hilarious. Billy Madison must go back to school in order to prove that he is responsible and mature enough to take over his fathers hotel business. The fact that Billy is totally incapable of running a hotel, and can be a total idiot at times makes the whole idea of it so funny. All of the other characters are funny in their own unique ways. This movie will always have a special shine as one of <more> |
| Some modest fun (by RNMorton) |
| Adam Sandler needs to complete his education from scratch as in K thru 12 in timely manner in order to take over family fortune. Rival seeks to sabotage educational plans, while Wilson attractively encourages Adam's success. Whatever. Watching Adam as the classmate of 8 year olds was really fun at least for me , and the plot as it is holds up until the silly finale. Great segment with Sandler regular Steve Buscemi as former classmate. |
| Stop looking at me, Swan! (by mattymatt4ever) |
| What can I possibly say? This is no "Citizen Kane," but this is one of the movies that sticks out in my mind the most. It's a twisted, crude, tasteless comedy but never ceases to bring out extreme laughter, even after I've seen it approximately 200 times--give or take. I just cannot get tired of this movie! There are things in this movie that cannot be understood, like every Sandler flick. What the hell was the deal with the penguin? However, it's a memorable moment. There are so many memorable quotes from the film. It's one of those movies I can quote line per line <more> |
| So stupid, but so damned funny! (by SourGreenapple42) |
| The great thing about "Billy Madison" is you're not suppose to take it nor judge it too seriously. They knew while making it that it wouldn't be an Oscar winner, nor would it be the next "Citizen Kane", nor is it suppose to be some intriguing and involved plot, but it in return has rightfully earned itself a major cult classic status among youth and film lovers since it's release. It has also become one of the most quoted and memorable films over the past 12 years.It's about a 27-year-old man who makes a bet with his dad that if he repeats and passes grades <more> |
| Interesting Premise for a Comedy has some very funny moments but a sharper script might have helped. (by hu675) |
| An rich nitwit by the name of Billy Madison Adam Sandler bets with his father Darren McGavin with a smile ball worker Bradley Whitford , who could win Billy's father hotel business company but Billy has to go back to school starts from the bottom to high school.Directed by Tamra Davis Crossroads, Half Baked made a watchable dumb comedy, which it was a Box Office Hit in the winter of 1995. This crude comedy has some funny moments but Sandler got better and funnier in his other movies. The movie really did needed a sharp writing but you can't always have it all. The late Chris <more> |
