Everyone knows that when Adam Sandler is starring in a movie it is definitely worthy of your time and Billy Madison is no exception to this standard. Billy Madison is a classic cult favorite that follows the pursuit of a young man, Billy, who is trying to prove to his father that he is not an idiot so he can take over the family company. In order to this, Billy goes back to school and goes through the grades K-12- this journey, of course, is very comedic.

Billy Madison is the source of many extremely funny quotes that you will hear me say repeatedly throughout the day. Some of my favorite quotes include: "If peeing your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis," said by a hilarious old lady who I wish was my grandma. If you are anything like me, you are probably wondering: Who's Miles Davis? Well apparently, he is an influential jazz musician who was popular in the 20th century. Another of my favorite scenes is Billy's conflict between which is "better" shampoo or conditioner. I won't even bother explaining the scene to you- you just have to see for yourself!

After thinking about it, I realized Billy Madison teaches a good theme but in a corrupt way. Billy has spent his entire life reaping the benefits of his father's hotel chain. He spends his days drinking with friends and creating disturbances across his father's estate. Billy is then forced to turn his life around by working hard for 13 weeks. These weeks of hard work allowed him to graduate from high school, get an acceptance to college, date a hot chick, and save his father's business from being passed to the antagonist, Carl. Realistically, you can't just slack of your entire life and except a fairy tale ending. That being said, it isn't reality- it's a movie. Despite this one critique, I love the movie and Adam Sandler's role as Billy. It is pretty hard not to root for the underdog!

In At the Movies, Siskel and Ebert gave the film a very bad review, and said of Sandler "...Not an attractive screen presence, he might have a career as a villain or a fall guy or the butt of a joke, but as the protagonist his problem is he creates the fingernails on the blackboard". To that I say, has neither Siskel or Ebert taken a look at their own reflection? Both of them are much further from being an "attractive screen presence" than Adam Sandler. My opinion on Billy Madison is exactly opposite; it is a must see classic film filled with hilarious quotes that will keep you laughing for days.
