Rater #1
7/10. Billy Madison is the 27 year old lazy, unemployed son of a rich tycoon. The tycoon is retiring and wants to hand over his hotel business to his son, but after a long discussion with his vice president, Eric Gordon, Mr. Madison feels that it's best if he gives the company to Eric and not to Billy. Billy protests and later strikes a deal with his dad. If Billy goes back to school, from 1st to 12th in two weeks, he'll get the company. Billy goes back and still acts like a goof throughout school, but manages to study and pass his way through school while crossing paths with his childhood sweetheart, Veronica Vaughn, who's also his third grade teacher, and Max Anderson, the gay principal who has his eye lustfully on Billy. Billy comes close to finishing school when Max receives a threat by Eric to expose Max's past, about Max being a wrestler and killed a fellow wrestler during a fight accidentally. Max will do anything to keep his job and must go on television and make a live statement about how Billy bribed him to pass him on to high school. This destroys Billy's chance to graduate, but Billy's third grade friends stick up for Billy and confront Max, who goes back on television and admits that he lied. To settle the dispute between Billy and Eric, the two decide to do an academic decathlon to see who gets the company.
I can say that this was a good movie. First the characters. Basicly, a hot teacher, a goof ball, and a gay principal. First the hot teacher, Bridgette Wilson. She was hot, but I don't think I liked her too much in the beginning, but towards the end....it was getting hot. Next, the gay principal, Josh Mostel. He was fine but very gay. Sheesh. Lastly, the goofball, Adam Sandler. He was good in this but I seem to find that I liked him equally or better in Anger Management. He just became really goofy and stupid in this one.
The rest of the movie was fine. It was an interesting storyline but seemed to be ripped off from somewhere....where, I don't know. All in all, this was a good movie, and should be seen by fans of Adam Sandler.
