This Adam Sandler flick is about a 30 year old rich guy whose father decides that if he wants to take over his successful business he'll have to repeat grades K-12 in six weeks. "Billy Madison" seems to make an attempt to be inspirational but fails and the romance between Sandler and his third grade teacher is disturbing for some reason. Adam Sandler is a talented guy and some of that rubs off onto this film but not enough.
