Classic movie. Sandler at his very prime. I find the fact that critics didn't take this movie for what it is, a dumb comedy, absolutely ridiculous.

Everyone loves Billy Madison. So what if it's mindless entertainment? Not everything has to be "brilliant."

one of my favs, so many good one liners. If your watching it for cinematic excellence you won't get it, look elsewhere. I saw this for the first time when I was 10 and I still quote it with my friends.

Adam Sandler is not known for outstanding cinematography, moving storylines or intelligently-written scripts. He's known for his hilarious movies. This is one of his finest.

i award you no points..
Billy Madison
Irony is that it is an R rated comedy to which only kids would approve of and let along considering its premise which basically works on some one-liners.

Funny. But rubbish.
If i wanted to see a grown man act like a stupid kid, i would watch a video on youtube.
Anyone who says this movie is the best movie they have ever seen, has obviously not seen good movies.

The movie wasn't witty but one crucial thing saved this movie, it's absolutely FANTASTIC humour. Every 5 minutes, I just couldn't help but laugh. Don't listen to the critics. All they want is some drama. WATCH THIS MOVIE!

For me, Billy Madison fits into the same category as Wayne's World and The Cable Guy. Great comedies of the 90's which more than 10 years later and after dozens of views still have no problems in making me laugh.

It seems that all of adams movies got low grades because there immature, but the critics have somthing so far up there ass they dont realize how funny the imaturity is. And anyways who really cares, adam sandler made millions of his movies.

Love it, but the critics are right in saying it is mindless. That's the point though right??

The epitome of a ridiculously funny, absolutely enjoyable movie that is also, by all standards, a bad film, which lends even more to the charm. I'm going to watch it again right now. Its nudy magazine day!

Contains a few good moments, especially towards the end, but is overall fairly flat. I wished they would've developed their characters a bit more.

Billy Madison has inspired moments of lunacy, but doesn't exactly live up to classics like Wayne's World or Austin Powers. There is one good thing though: This is nothing compared to what Sandler will make later in his career.

You people still enjoy watching this and loving every single second of it? That's normally funny because every time I see people enjoying this, I cringe from every dumb brain cell coming out of those heads.

It's like everyone in this movie is funny except for Adam Sandler. Some parts made me laugh, others made me cringe. I didn't like the constant objectification of Ms. Vaughn either.

This is why I hate critics. This movie should not be taken seriously, and is one of the funniest ever made.

Adam Sandler's finest. He needs to stop making lame dramas and comedic-dramas, go back to his roots.

This movie is a Sandler classic, and by the looks of the User Scores, most people would agree. Critics got this one wrong, because it's funny from start to finish. I'd gladly watch this and Happy Gilmore all the time.

Whooooaaaaaa!!!! A fully-compiled Metascore of 16?!?!?!?!?! That's ridiculous. That's not to say that BILLY MADISON is perfect, but this is a heck of a funny movie!

Adam Sandler gives a great performance in one of his best movies to date. While there is a big sense of immaturity, it may make you laugh throughout.

Honestly not as funny as I remember. It's very cringe, Billie just isn't as funny as other Adam characters. And why tf is there a musical scene. So unneeded

Billy Madison and Universal Acclaim wouldn't usually go in the same sentence. But it should--and at least we users have spoken.

One of my all time favourite comedies. I feel sorry for the "professional" -and I use that term lightly- critics who obviously have no sense of humor.

Critics be damned! This movie is absolutely hilarious. Look at reader average - we aren't afraid to recognize funny at the risk of "lowering" ourselves.

The type of movie critics shouldn't be allowed to review - it's like asking a classical music fan for their opinion on Master of Puppets. Hilarious - only topped, IMO, by Happy Gilmore, ever so slightly.

I was looking at low scores this deserved at least an 80. The movie isn't bad at all and is worth watching at least 10 times in your life its a classic.

Billy Madison is definitely not one of the best Adam Sandler's movie and the jokes are not all funny.Sandler's performance is not really good either but the movie was entertaining.

Beautiful actress and a variety of settings that helped my imagination make me want to replay parts of this movie and call it a classic.

the metascore is definitely too low, but Billy Madison is nothing special. It's just an all right comedy at best, but the poor (sometimes annoying) of Adam Sandler make this a difficult watch.

One of my favorite Adam Sandler films I ever watched. If I tell my friends to watch a movie with Adam Sandler, Billy Madison is the movie to see in your entire life.
