Billy Madison is the story of a wealthy man child named Billy (played by Adam Sandler) who spends his days out by pool and drinking and slacking off all day. His father sees that Billy is lazy and has no motivation to do anything in life, so this leads him to choose his right hand man, Eric, to take over the family company. Billy and Eric do not get along because Eric is obviously the villain in this movie. Billy thinks Eric shouldn't have the company. Billy actually wants it, he tells his father he can do it because even though high school was a pain, he finished it with good grades.
So then he learns that his father actually paid his teachers to give him good grades. Billy says he'll go back to high school and repeat all the grades. Then his father says it wasn't just high school, it was from first grade all the way to high school. So Billy decides to prove his father wrong and repeat 1st-12th grade in 24 weeks. And if he can do it, he'll win the company back.
Like any early Adam Sandler movie, it is filled with funny dialogue and definitely has some quotable moments. Billy Madison was actually Adam Sandler's first starring role. He did this movie right after he became a breakout star on Saturday Night Live. Thanks to Billy Madison we have all the classic Adam Sandler movies that we love and unfortunately, all the bad Adam Sandler movies we've seen lately.
It's funny to see Adam Sandler go through each grade, because he basically is a child. Also after each grade he passes he throws an extravagant party filled with even more funny moments. But also we have Eric being sneaky and trying to sabotage him. As Billy goes through each grade, he grows up little by little and even falls in love with his fourth grade teacher. Cute right?
You're probably wondering does Billy finishes school? Does he get the company? Does he live happily ever after with his teacher? Well you're going to have to watch the movie to find out. Or you can check out this video with some of the best and funniest moments from Billy Madison. It's up to you! Until next time.
