Product Description

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

No offense to Adam Sandler fans who loved this film, I love goofy movies myself. But this film fell a bit short of my expectations. First of all, the romantic attraction between Billy and the teacher should have been further developed upon (the scene of her punching Billy in the pool is most curious). Sandler should have added more jokes (he practically played one), and he should have added more dialogue. The movie could have been better, I think.
I love Adam Sandler films, my favorites being HAPPY GILMORE, LITTLE NICKY and THE WATERBOY. But this film is not his best, unfortunately. However, unlike the critics who trashed it, I will do this movie some credit. The scenes of Sandler singing in the pool and yelling at the students that he hates them and will never return to school (after making a spelling error), are hilarious. There ARE funny moments, but the real ones are sadly far and few (much like Will Ferrell movies). A decent film, but not Sandler's best.

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!

Adam Sandler plays Billy Madison who is over 20 years old son of a very rich man. Billy is lazy beyond belief and he is unemployed. When his father wants to retire and wants to hand over the family business to Billy but his vice president Eric protests thinking that he deserves to be in charge of the business instead. Billy is not happy about Eric taking over his father's business at all so his dad makes a deal with both, Eric and Billy.
Billy has to go to the school again and if he passes all the exams then that's when he'll take over his family business. But will Billy actually succeed???

A disgrace to the movie world
