Billy Madison is one of Adam Sandler’s signature comedy classics. The light plot is hard to take seriously at times, but there are many moments of comedy gold throughout the film, including an epic musical number and hilarious smaller roles played by Chris Farley, Steve Buscemi, and others. It’s silly, puerile, and fun. Period.
Nothing to Lose is one of the funniest “buddy” movies of the 1990’s, with a strong acting performance by Tim Robbins in the lead role. Co-star Martin Lawrence, in peak comedic form, plays an unlikely sidekick. Down on their luck, the two men team up to orchestrate a bold heist that will change their fortunes in unexpected ways. The film is a fun, hilarious journey…a must watch for comedy lovers who can handle some crude humor and plenty of profanity. It has a great score, with an especially perfect use of Scatman in one of the movie’s best scenes.
