Billy Madison, released in 1995, starring Adam Sandler, is well, a classic Adam Sandler movie. Adam Sandler had a streak of movies starting in the early 90’s, including Big Daddy, Happy Gilmore, Mr. Deeds, Waterboy, and Billy Madison that were absolutely hilarious. Adam Sandler generally plays an immature adult, which fit perfectly into the role of Billy Madison.

Billy Madison, was a spoiled kid growing up, who did not try in school. His father bribed his teachers to let him pass and eventually graduate, but when it was time for his father retire from his job, he did not feel comfortable handing the company over to Billy, because of his constant antics. The scene which truly portrayed who Madison was the first scene of the movie; Sandler stumbles in drunk out of his mind, chasing and imaginary human size penguin. He screams gibberish at this penguin and starts the movie out with a hilarious bang.

For Sandler to receive the company, he makes a bet with his father that he could go back to school, and pass all of the grades starting from kindergarten all the way through to 12^th grade, and if he graduated he would get the family business. Adam Sandler, a fully-grown man, in an elementary school classroom made for some great laughs and overall a fantastic movie. Many of the Adam Sandler movies are similar, but they are all entertaining and suggest going and seeing them all.
