Billy Madison Movie
Dim-witted, overgrown kid Billy Madison (Adam Sandler) whiles away his time poolside, guzzling beer with his stupid buddies, Jack (Mark Beltzman) and Frank (Norm Macdonald), ogling sultry girls in nudie magazines and playing filthy pranks. The wealthy Brian Madison (Darren McGavin) informs his slacker son that he plans to pass the hotel business on to vice president Eric Gordon (Bradley Whitford). Billy is forced to return to school and pass all 12 grades within the course of twenty-four weeks in order to prove that he is competent to run the company.
