Billy Madison (1995)
5/10
Goofy, silly, awkward and stupidly funny.
7 May 2016
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+
