No plans this week end? Want to pick up a funny movie but don’t know what to watch? Let me suggest something for you...
This week end, pick up: “Billy Madison”
This week end, pick up: “Billy Madison”
These days, Adam Sandler has a familiar family friendly formula. Turn the clock back to 1995 however and you’ll find a special kind of immature, crazy, lowbrow type humour that’s just simply hilarious. Oh Billy Madison...There are imaginary penguins, funny kids, odd teachers, an excellent end academic decathlon between Billy and Eric Gordon for top level involvement in Billy’s father’s hotel business. Oh, and who can forget the O’doyles? O’doyles rule! Right?
Can you believe that this sophisticated movie got negative reviews on its release? Today it only holds a 46% at rotten tomatoes, and 16 out of 100 at Metacritic... Maybe it had something to do with a certain goofy argument over which is better – shampoo or conditioner... Thing about this flick is. It’s that it’s not really smart. It knows that. It’s a no-brainer. Just plain ol uninhibited fun.
Movie critics aside, those of us who love a good laugh and feel that this movie’s comedic tastes are not below us can usually agree that this Sandler masterwork is a comedy classic. It made over 25 million dollars worldwide according to wiki. It helped highlight Sandler as an icon and was played over and over again in high school and college students’ movie players everywhere.
So this week end, earn back father’s respect and revisit elementary school on up with Billy. You’ll be glad you did.
Oh, and don’t forget to call up Danny Mcgrath (Steve Buschemi) and tell him you feel sorry about what happened in high school.
