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.
