It succeeds as a reasonably smart no-brainer. If you've ever had a yen to relive the third grade, this must be the next best thing.
A more kid-friendly version of "Dumb and Dumber." And there's even a moral: "Yahoo for education," though the movie doesn't really put any muscle behind it.

This is the very 1st Adam Sandler movie I ever seen. I was dying with laughter throughout this movie. Now I'm a hugh Adam Sandler fan. Stop looking at me swan.

Holy **** , some people are actually taking time to review this and give it a 0. This movie was funny, it's meant to be a comedy, so I don't understand why some are saying that it's "funny, but rubbish." I don't have a bias for Adam Sandler but this movie was particularly something you can just watch and enjoy. Saying that when you see someone actually enjoying this movie, you cringe, is the **** thing you can do. No wonder it goes from someone named EpicLadySponge. Lady. Epic. Horrible. This movie was good, and it was funny, and it was relaxing to watch. Thank you, Adam Sandler.

By the end, you feel like a drill sergeant-you want to wipe that stupid grin off Sandler's face.
Billy Madison is so singularly stupid that "Dumb and Dumber" looks (almost) like a beacon of braininess and taste in comparison.
The movie was one of the best comedy movies ever made, period. This movie is still funny today, regardless of cheesy acting and randomness in the film. At least it somewhat had a plot and was successful at being funny, which was it's main purpose. I frigging learned about Hamlet though this movie and witnessed one of the best scenes in a movie, Billy Madison's final speech in the "marathon", or whatever it was called.
Anyways, 10/10

Billy Madison has inspired moments of lunacy, but doesn't exactly live up to classics like Wayne's World or Austin Powers. There is one good thing though: This is nothing compared to what Sandler will make later in his career.

It's an amusing 90's Comedy I'll give it that and probably one of Adam Sandler's more memorable roles but that doesn't mean it's a good movie. Very silly and borderline stupid, but for some reason there's enough nostalgia there and funny moments to make it passable. I've never been a huge fan of Sandler or his style of Comedy but out of all his films this one is probably one of the funniest, if not for the wrong reasons, but there's no denying his fan base loves whatever he does!

i award you no points..

Irony is that it is an R rated comedy to which only kids would approve of and let along considering its premise which basically works on some one-liners.

You people still enjoy watching this and loving every single second of it? That's normally funny because every time I see people enjoying this, I cringe from every dumb brain cell coming out of those heads.
