Billy Madison, the dim-witted son of a millionaire, wastes his life guzzling beer and devising obscene pranks until his father threatens to leave him nothing. In order to earn his father's respect, Billy, who bribed his way through school, must pass all 12 grades in six months or see a sycophantic assistant get his father's fortune. Billy struggles with the aide and his own idiocy to make good in this gag-filled farce. (official distributor synopsis)

I was quite curious about this first commercially successful film of Adam Sandler because I hadn't seen it before. And I must say, it entertained me. There are things about Sandler that people can't stand, but there is also a humor that just works for me in his performance. As an adult, it works even better for me, but this silliness is also fine. He actually keeps goofing around all the time.
