Author's Review
Billy Madison has to be Adam Sandlers best movie. It is hillarious. Unlike the new movies he's coming out with that stink, like Anger Managment and Mr. Deeds, this one has to be one of my favourite comedies.
Billy Madison is the son of Mr.Madison, a rich man who owns a sucessful chain of hotels. Billy will be the heir of the buisness when his dad retires. But Eric, Mr.Madison's friend and employee, wants the buisness for himself. He convinces Mr.Madison into giving him the hotels since Billy couldn't run them because he dropped out of high school and is sort of a goofball and a dumb@$$. Billy makes a deal with his father that if he goes to Grade 1 and works his way up to high school graduation by a certain period he can inheirit the buisness. Soon Billy is whizzing through the grades and Eric decides to sabotage Billy. If I told anymore it'd give too much away.
Billy Madison is hillarious. There is a laugh every minute. It is so funny. I especially liked the scene where he chases a penguin that is a figment of his imagination through his backyard, or when he starts the academic triathalon. The one problem people might have with this is that it is stupid humor and it is a bit childish, although I don't see this is a downside. Most of it, although stupid, is amazingly clever and funny. I think that this is the best Adam Sandler film I've seen.
I think that the acting is great. Adam Sandler is a great actor in my opinion, although some people think that he is too dumb and childish. I think that this is probably one of Adam Sandlers best preformances, his charecter is done really well and is really funny. It's the sort of charecter who wouldn't be as funny without Adam Sandler playing it. Chris Farley also has a small part in it and he is great. I think that Chris Farley is a great actor. Although his part in this is little, it is really funny. All the actors were convincing in their roles.
The movie was also fast moving which I like in films. It had good special effects, especially when Eric got lit on fire. It looked pretty real. The others were good too. As for the soundtrack, I don't remember any songs except for the one Billy sang near the end, and it was hillarious.
I'd have to say my main problem with this movie is that the plot is very unoriginal and you've seen adults going to school before in movies like Jack ( which isn't as good as this by far ). You've seen this before, not nearly as funny, but you've seen this plot before. That's probably the only problem I had with this film, but otherwhise everything about it was great.
Overall Billy Madison is one of my favourite movies. I think that it is hillarious, has great funny acting, good special effects,etc. It is really funny and it is a must see, unless you don't like stupid humor too much. My only problem was the plot was too unoriginal.
