An average movie

I don't know if you have noticed but I’m not exactly a huge fan of Adam Sandler. In fact, nowadays, you won’t find many people claiming that they love his work since his latest movies have been quite abysmal. However, many would argue that his first movies were actually quite brilliant and hilarious so I was quite eager to check this one out. So, with this movie, Adam's Sandler first starring movie, that's basically where it all started. At the time, even though it was poorly received by the critics, it was a surprise success at the box-office and Adam Sandler has been making hits for the next 20 years without looking back ever since. At last, I finally saw the damned thing and, to be honest, I thought it was a rather average and moronic comedy. In my opinion, the worst thing is that, if it had flopped, we probably would have missed all those stupid movies that he has made afterwards. However, since it was a success , it became the blue-print for all the following comedies starring Sandler and, actually, they could all be called ‘Billy Madison 2’, ‘Billy Madison 3’, ‘Billy Madison 4’,… To conclude, even though I have seen worse, I still think it is a rather weak comedy and I don’t think it is really worth a look, except maybe if you are a die-hard fan of Adam Sandler’s work.
