Billy MadisonIrony is that it is an R rated comedy to which only kids would approve of and let along considering its premise which basically works on some one-liners.

Overall: It's an entertaining flick which is probably worth a one time watch if you don't mind Sandler Style.Good: It is entertaining at stages and the acting is quite well done, with the maid and the headmaster being my personal favorite characters. The premise is fun and decently handled. It's a nice, warm plot that does what it needs. I didn't notice anything special about the music or the cinematography.Bad: This is the kicker for many; it's an Adam Sandler movie. It hits every nail on the head and you can wash that down with some of Sandler's signature style. It is one of his better movies but that isn't saying much. The ending is also predictable and illogical for his father.Best Part: The continuous reign of flirting from the maid to Sandler is funny, a tad bit stereotypical but doesn't get old.6/10

This is one of those goofy, silly, awkward and stupidly funny flicks, starring Adam Sandler as Billy Madison, a rich but lazy son who makes a deal with his father that in order to inherit his hotel company, he must repeat Grades 1-12 in school in order to earn his education.Sandler seemed he doesn't care about good, careful and dramatic acting in this movie; he just wants to have fun and be silly, etching out slapstick comedy, gags and awkward moments whenever he can. It's probably a good movie for kids (minus the profanity) and teenagers, but adults might think the movie's pretty stupid and somewhat boring.The plot is somewhat fast-paced, but the overall acting and comedy, I though, were rather mediocre. This movie belongs on the list of films to watch only if you have absolutely nothing better to do or watch on TV.Grade D+
