    dumb as hell.. but kind of endearing. i mean who couldnt love Carl... and i always give a giggle when anything reminds me of gum.. do you have any more gum?? a remake, making it actually smart, could be utterly amazing.

    Very, very amusing. Adam Sandler isn't one of my favourite comedians, but he's really good with his role as Billy Madison. The jokes are really funny, and the way Billy Madison acts is so hilarious. There were scenes where it started to seem a bit slow. The ending is good, it's s...( read more)weet and nice. Not all the acting is good though. That was a disapointment. But you can't stop laughing at the "burning bag with dog shit inside it". This movie invented that shit! This is classic Adam Sandler, and at times it seems a bit lame, but I really did enjoy this.

    This is probably my favourite movie of all time.

    Hey kids, it's me. I bet you thought that I was dead, but when I fell over I just broke my leg and got a haemorrhage in my head.
