I think this film is unfairly maligned by a lot of people. Obviously it is a dumb comedy like many others we've seen before and since, but what makes this movie great for me is the way it embraces utter lunacy. There are a number of bizarre non-sequitors that are never explained nor mentioned again. I think my favourite of these is Frank & Jack eating stolen lunches from Billy's class with the bus driver on a fieldtrip. Why were they even on the fieldtrip? It's such an insane scene. I also love the crazy "SLOPPY JOES" cafeteria lady. And the bit in the academic decathlon when Eric is completely engulfed in flames. It's such a bizarre moment, and extremely hilarious.…

An irredeemable, putrescent turd. The three laughs I got from this film earned it a whole star.
"O'Doyle Rules!"
"Stop looking at me, swan!"
"If peeing your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis!"There. That's it.

This film is complete trash on just about every level, but it's impossible not to laugh. Still funny after all these years.

If you say you have never quoted this film,
you're lying.

The best Adam Sandler Film...
But a big fuck you to Channel 7 for cutting the best bit when the Principal gives Billy Madison a Valentine's Card...
I HATE YOU CHANNEL 7!

As always, loses some steam towards the end but the first half hour is some of the funniest shit ever. So, so stupid. I laughed the most this time at the way he walks into the investors' dinner.

There are only a handful of Sandler films that are good in my opinion, this and Happy Gilmore are two of his best. Which isn't saying much really. But I can't help laughing my ass off while quoting the entire movie the whole time.

"You ain't cool unless you pee your pants." Yeah, it's a dumb movie, but pretty funny.

7.5/10
I am fully aware of how stupid and ridiculous this movie is but I am also aware of how much made me laugh its stupid and crude jokes, because like most Adam Sandler flicks in the early stages of his career I found Billy Madison very, very funny and a fair entry into the so-bad-it's-good kind of films.
