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
Stop looking at me, Swan!
What can I possibly say? This is no "Citizen Kane," but this is one of the movies that sticks out in my mind the most. It's a twisted, crude, tasteless comedy but never ceases to bring out extreme laughter, even after I've seen it approximately 200 times--give or take. I just cannot get tired of this movie! There are things in this movie that cannot be understood, like every Sandler flick. What the hell was the deal with the penguin? However, it's a memorable moment. There are so many memorable quotes from the film. It's one of those movies I can quote line per line off the top of my head.
Here's a share of my favorite quotes:
(singing) "Suntan lotion is good for me. You protect me. Tee-hee-hee."
"O'Doyle rules!"
"It's too damn hot for a penguin to be just walkin' around. I gotta send him back to the South Pole."
"You're giving the company to Eric? He is a bad, bad man."
Adam Sandler has that brand of comic genius in which you don't know what you're laughing at, but it's damn funny! You can't help it! I can't rant and rave about anything artistically brilliant about "Billy Madison." Yet it's one of my favorite movies of all time.
It's funny, it's original, it's Sandler! Nuff said.
My score: 8 (out of 10)
