Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring the school bus scene, Chris Farley turning bright red in aggravation was improvised, according to Adam Sandler in I Am Chris Farley (2015). Chris, before every scene, would chug entire cups of espressos to maintain his trademark manic energy. A thing he would do in pretty much every movie since.
- GoofsWhen Billy is dialing the phone to call the guy he picked on in high school, you hear a phone ringing. This is part of the song being played.
- Quotes
Principal: Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
- Alternate versionsIn some edited-for-tv versions of the film, during the Jeopardy game at the end of the film, the scene of the host reading the "burning dog poo and the human response" clue has been removed. However, the clue can still be seen on the board in distant shots.

Featured review
Plain enjoyable and among Sandler's funniest
I liked most of the movies with Adam Sandler I saw, and since this is one of his earliest breakout roles, I knew I had to see it. And I was right.
Billy Madison (Sandler) is a rich young man who left studies and spends most of his days monkeying around in his mansion. During a lunch of his father and his colleagues he does one of his usual pranks and the father decides to give him a lesson: send him back to school starting from kindergarten and doing all grades even tho he is approaching 30! Billy accepts, and the journey will be funny but without a few obstacles by some bully that will be easily defeated.
Adam Sandler gives his usual funny performance and the supporting cast is full of future usual actors of his movies. Many of the situations were laugh out loud and the moments with the guy dressed as a penguin were very cute. So, if you are bored at home and you don't want to think too much, then BILLY MADISON is for you.
