Billy Madison

I’m sure you have all seen the great classic that I am going to write about during this Blog, and that great movie is called Billy Madison. Starring Adam Sandler, it was filmed at the same time as Happy Gilmore, and they were released to the public at around the same time. The amount of one liners that one person can recall from the movie in one sitting would probably take about a day. This movie doesn’t only bring back childhood memories for me, but also for the one and only Mr. Currin. Mr. Currin actually called me and Jose Blanco into his so called ‘office’ to tell us that we were reciting lines that made him pretty nostalgic. It makes you think about what makes a movie so memorable that even your super old teachers remember it from their child hood. But for this movie, it’s no doubt the comedy parts of the movie. If for some odd, unexplainable reason you haven’t seen this timeless classic, the movie is about the son of a millionaire that is not the smartest guy in the world. His Dad decides that his son isn’t smart enough to take over the business, so Billy goes back to school starting from kindergarten all the way to 12th grade to prove to his father that he is smart enough. If he fails any of the grades, the business will be handed over to one of Billy’s dad’s business partners, Eric. Eric is your typical jerk in a movie, and Billy really hates the guy. The movie has a pretty big twist in the end, and Billy actually ends up depending on an Academic Triathlon. I’m not going to tell you how the movie ends obviously, so you are going to have to take the remaining time out of your day to go to the store, buy the DVD, and watch it. You’re welcome.
