Stupid

Billy Madison (1995)

Yet another slacker comedy from Adam Sandler and Tim Herlihy which this time co-stars Bridgette Wilson. When the owner of a hotel business decides to retire his son has to return to school and complete all 12 grades to prove he is not an idiot.

It is hard to tell if the film is as stupid as the main character or not because ultimately we are let with no real understanding of him. The plot is entirely simplistic and unoriginal but the worst thing is that it never explains why the main character has acted like an idiot for his entire life or how he is able to win over his love interest. Maybe if there were enough funny moments that would mitigate the other flaws but alas this film is rarely funny if at all.

2/5
