This is the movie that started it all. ‘Going Overboard’ was a flop. He also had some parts in other movies, but Billy Madison is what put Adam Sandler on the map. This movie is far from a smart comedy. It is comedy on its lowest level. It is great though. You can’t always think. You have gags like a penguin that only Adam can see, a clown that gets killed and just stays there for weeks, and of course nudie magazine day. It is for all of these reasons that I think this movie is great. This movie is also a reason that Adam was not taken seriously right away. He may still not be taken seriously. After watching this again for the umpteenth time I realized that this movie will never get old.
