Directed by: Tamra Davis
Cast: Adam Sandler, Bradley Whitford, Josh Mostel
Time: 89 minutes
Billy Madison is the
only son of retiring hotel tycoon Brian Madison. Though Billy is 27, he’s
immature and dimwitted. Having a phony diploma bought by his rich father, Billy
decides to go back through all 12 years of school (2 weeks per grade) to get
his diploma and inherit his father’s business.
When properly dosed and wrapped around a good storyline, Adam Sandler’s usual shenanigans can be amusing. It was not quite the case here. While Billy Madison is not as bad as some of Sandler’s later offerings, it was far from perfect. The film has its dose of cute and funny moments. Some of the cameos, like Chris Farley and Norm MacDonald, were also a nice treat. Some stuff made me laugh, but other things fell kind of flat. All things considered, this is an average silly comedy.
