Such a stupid, stupid movie. Funny, but so stupid. Adam Sandler is particularly annoying here, and the story is beyond intelligent comprehension. I laughed, but only at the sheer idiocy of what I was seeing.

Pretty much agree with trixster about how like Gilmore it's stupid and illogical as all hell, but I do like it. Not my favorite Sandler film though.

I have to admit my favorite Adam Sandler movies were (shock) his romantic comedies, 50 First Dates and The Wedding Singer.

I love this movie, it may not be his best or most charming movie, I think Wedding Singer and Happy Gilmore are great as well, but this is a film I can watch over and over. Really if your 25 when you first see this, you should love this film, despite its paper thin plot.

This and Tommy Boy made 1995 a great year for comedy.

Very enjoyable and easy to watch. It holds up under repeat viewings. It's one of the few movies that works, despite having a plot that is completely cartoonish and unbelievable. The movie never takes itself seriously, which helps sell it.

Re: Billy Madison This movie has become my ultimate guilty pleasure. Probably the dumbest movie of all time but so funny.

Re: Billy Madison Great times back in middle school with this flick, great times. It's a true Sandler classic.
