The Best Film Ever!.......2008-02-18
I watched this on sky once and i actually had to go to hospital (NO JOKE!!) from laughing to much i nearly choked. So i bought it and played it to my friends at a sleep over. We were in stitches and we laughed that much we woke my parents up the best bit though is the bit where billy madison (sandler) falls onto his front porch LOL!!
But yeah if you like the films where sandler is PURE STUPIDITY!! then this is the film for you. You will want to put it on constant play.

Will Billy finish school? With help from his child co-stars and the extremely hot teacher, Veronica, he goes head to head with Eric in the ultimate academic decathalon.
Adam Sandler At His Best.......2004-08-29
The is easily Adam Sandler's best movie. Its all about Adam Sandler going back to school to get his fathe's hotel company. On the way through all the grades he makes friends and even falls in love with a fit teacher. The funniest part of this movie is when a little kid is reading and Adam Sandler makes fun of him. This is a very funny movie so buy it to see it.
Not Sandler's Best, But Still A Bit Of Fun!.......2004-08-11
To be honest, i think that Adam Sandler is definately comedies funniest actor that we have seen for several years, and lately i have become quite a big fan of his. While i don't think that Billy Madison is one of his best films, its still a laugh and a real treat for fans of Sandler himself, or just slapstick comedy fans in general.
Sandler plays a lazy, slightly retarded Billy Madison who is the son of a multi-millionaire hotel owner, and since leaving high school has spend his days getting drunk with two dimwits he calls friends, and setting fire to bags of dog poo that he leaves on the porches of neighbours that he doesn't really like very much. However when his father reveals that he is retairing and will be leaving the company to a very annoying executive, Billy decides to go back to school and prove that he can manage a business. The fact that after completing each grade he gets a huge party with a fair etc etc, probably helps him along the way. Third grade comes a big shock to Billy, as he not only makes a whole class of new friends, but also finds that he teacher is no other than the beautiful Bridgette Wilson, who plays Veronica Vaughn.
The nasty executive, Eric, starts to worry that maybe his dream of running the company is slipping through his grubby little fingers and so blackmails the principle to say that Billy payed him in order to compete each grade. When Billy's father finds out he is furious and is about to give the company to Eric when Billy challenges him to a 'educational decathalon' and the winner will win the company.
If it was anyone else playing the role of Billy Madison, other than Sandler, this film would be a complete flop and not really worth a light, but when its Adam Sandler acting like a complete childish fool, for example chasing huge penguins about on a quad bike and farting in class, its ok and the audiences always seem to accept it and come back to the cinemas time and time again wanting more.
Overall, Billy Madison is a nice little film, which although isn't family viewing, teenages and adults are sure to enjoy the slapstick comedy and i recommend that you watch it several times in order to get the full amount of fun and enjoyment that this film has to offer. As i said before, not his best attempt, but still a treat for Sandler fans, or comedy fans in general.
Truly awful.......2004-05-02
Maybe I don't 'get' Adam Sandler but I didn't find films like The Waterboy too bad - this however is a truly awful film with a two-minute appearance by Steve Buscemi the only slight redeeming feature.
Adam Sandler plays the Billy Madison of the title who has to repeat school in order to inherit his fathers hotel business. Yes the plot is paper-thin but that's expected from this type of film, usually the jokes make up for that. However, jokes are very thin on the ground here, submerged in long periods of Adam Sandler simply acting childish, and those that there are - well the fact that he has gone back to school should give you an indication of the level of humour. Stupid voices and fart noises in class are about all you're going to get here.
If I could give this film 0 stars I would - avoid!
Amazon.co.uk Review
One of the most memorably offbeat romantic comedies of the 1990s begins when a talk-radio veterinarian named Abby (Janeane Garofalo) takes a call from Brian (Ben Chaplin), the owner of a roller-skating Great Dane. Brian is intrigued by Abby's voice and asks if she'll agree to meet him. Insecure about her looks and her nonexistent love life, Abby agrees, but describes herself as a tall blonde, then begs her attractive neighbour Noelle (played by Uma Thurman) to meet with Brian in her place. The ensuing case of switched identity is complicated when Noelle takes a liking to Brian who, of course, thinks she is Abby. This confusion gains comedic momentum when Abby safely plays herself on the radio and in a long, hilariously seductive phone call with Brian, but by now the situation has grown hopelessly complex, and Abby has to find a way to reveal herself without disappointing Brian. Many viewers rightly complained that the movie relies on the assumption that Abby is unattractive, even though Garofalo is more attractive and appealing here than she'd been in several movies before and since. Still, this contemporary variation on Cyrano de Bergerac is a lightweight, good-natured surprise that values the quirks and foibles that make lovelorn romantics (including their pets) uniquely appealing. --Jeff Shannon

Charming, relaxing and surprisingly rewatchable........2006-12-25
If your'e looking to unwind and have a romantic bone in your body you'll love this film. There are no belly laughs, but I guarantee you will smile from begining to end. You may even blush as well.
Personally as a man, I dind't find Uma Thurman remotely drop-dead gorgeous which is assumed throughout. But I'm probably in the minority and her performance is immaculate. Everything else about the film is pretty much perfect. Light entertainment at its best.
the truth about 'the truth about cats and dogs'.......2004-06-07
Ok so you saw the review title coming... but give it a chance.
Which is basically my opinion of this film, give it a chance.
If it's been a tough day, or you're not feeling too great about yourself, then I advise you put this film on and become wrapped up in it*.
Assured to raise at least a smile, and hopefully recover that tingly feeling in your toes.

Classic love triangle and a dog on roller skates!.......2002-05-13
If Ben Chaplin alone (the original Matthew from Game On) isn't worth watching this film for, then there are a host of other reasons. Janeane Garofalo is superb in the role of Abby, a nutty radio animal psychologist, who talks Brian (Chaplin) through the best way to win the heart of a dog on roller skates he is trying to photograph! It's love at first voice for Brian and Abby and love at first sight for Brian and Noelle (Uma Thurman), Abby's beautiful neighbour, but will Abby come clean and tell Brian who she really is?
This film is a real classic which has been sadly overlooked. Garofalo and Chaplin have a real natural chemistry. I could watch this over and over again - in fact, I have!
I love it!.......2000-08-11
A great romance with an animal twist to it. The actors/actresses have been well chosen and there's a definite chemistry between them. Go on, watch it!
Pure escapism.......2000-06-14
I love this film. Very funny, wonderfully acted, beautifully shot, knowingly written and light as a feather, this is definitely a movie to watch if you've had a hard day and need to unwind.
Uma Thurman shows a talent for comedy as an implausibly beautiful airhead, Ben Chaplin is charming as an English photographer living and working in LA, and Janeane Garofalo is funny, intelligent and cuddly-cute as a radio vet.
Infinitely better than the tripe that is "Sleepless in Seattle" or "any of those others" with Meg Ryan.

This is one of the best animated films that I've ever seen........2001-08-18
I began to watch this film without expecting much. Admittedly, it does not feature the best animation, but that is not the most important feature in an animated film. It's not the 'Lion King' or 'Dinasaur', but I don't think that it was meant to be. The story is about a love triangle between a good-guy penguin named Hubie, his sweetheart Marina and the egotistical and pompous Drake - this penguin is willing to stoop or bully his way to any level to marry Marina, who is not very interested in him. Hubie must beat the clock to find the most precious pebble and make it back in time, braving all kinds of weather and challenging situations in order to wed Marina. This love-triangle theme of the film was not too 'grown-up', was handled well, and is suitable for children of all ages.
The film is both sad (without being too over-the-top) and funny. The dialogue between the characters is both original and hilarious, and the film in general is very wacky, as were some of the songs. Drake's over-the-top rendition of "Don't make me laugh" had me splitting my sides. James Belushi's characterization of Rocko was perfectly fitted to his natural humour and temperament, and Tim Curry did a great job of Drake. This film is the perfect example of not expecting much from a film, but getting everything. If you like a lot of fun, you will probably love this film.
Dire.......2000-07-24
Nowadays audiences have been spoilt by the exquisite animation of 'The Lion King' or 'Toy Story', so this incredibly poorly made film will come as quite a culture shock. Produced only 5 years ago, it looks like it has been dug up from the Ark, long before the sophisticated artwork of Disney or the luxury of CGI.
The film is an Irish-Welsh-Hungarian-Turkish co-production. And it shows. The storyline is fractured and unclear, many dance numbers building up to nothing, with a meandering narrative that goes nowhere very slowly. The different groups of animators seem totally unaware of each other's style, and the film varies dramatically in picture quality, even within individual scenes.
The animation is at times appalling. Endless scenes with just two characters talking against a neutral background dominate the film, and the few impressive moments are quickly extinguished by moments of excruciating amateurishness the next. The voices are not particularly impressive either.
That said, my two children enjoyed it very much (bar the long, totally inappropriate 'musical' title sequence) and in its own primitive way I suppose it just about passes an hour and a quarter. But there is a lot better out there - an awful lot.
Amazon.co.uk Review
Inspired by Chris Marker's acclaimed short film La Jetée, 12 Monkeys combines intricate, intelligent storytelling with the uniquely imaginative vision of director Terry Gilliam. The story opens in the wintry wasteland of the year 2035, where a virulent plague has forced humans to live in a squalid, oppressively regimented underground. Bruce Willis plays a societal outcast who is given the opportunity to erase his criminal record by "volunteering" to time-travel into the past to obtain a pure sample of the deadly virus that will help future scientists to develop a cure. But in bouncing from 1918 to the early and mid-1990s, he undergoes an ordeal that forces him to question his own perceptions of reality. Caught between the dangers of the past and the devastation of the future, he encounters a psychiatrist (Madeleine Stowe) who is initially convinced he's insane, and a wacky mental patient (Brad Pitt in a twitchy Oscar-nominated role) with links to a radical group that may have unleashed the deadly virus. Equal parts mystery, tragedy, psychological thriller, and apocalyptic drama, 12 Monkeys ranks as one of the best science fiction films of the 1990s, boosted by Gilliam's visual ingenuity and one of the finest performances of Willis's career. --Jeff Shannon

Brucie at his best!.......2008-02-19
This flim is rightfully cited as one of the best sci-fi flims of the 90s. The acting is brilliant- it really explores the talents of Bruce Willis and brad Pitt in challenging roles. The plot is expertly exposed and is full of twists and turns, so that the viewer is unsure if the sci-fi elements of the flim are real of just in Cole's (Willis' character) head.
The only thing that annoyed me about this film is that the futuristic underground world is not explored as much as I would like. Despite this not being a 100% Gilliam flim- he took no part in writing the screenplay- he certainly left his mark.
Modern Classic.......2008-01-27
This is without doubt one of the best sci-fi/time travel movies ever made. 12 Monkeys demands more from the viewer than your average movie.
The plot is intelligent, the acting is superb and it looks beatifully gritty.
I never get tired of watching this film, it's a classic that constantly rewards the viewer with each subsequent viewing.
monkeys eh.......2007-07-26
This film was on the good ol' 'amazon reccomends' list. and at nearly a fiver it was worth a pop. In fact, i was absolutely bowled over by one of the best acting performances i've seen on film. Brad Pitt as the unquestionably derranged Jeffrey (sp.?) is far outside his 'comfort zone' of hollywood acting heroes/smouldering bandits/intelligent evil guys. The character requires depth, careful study and a little individual flare, all of which is bought perfectly together by his firm grasp of the character. Pitt gives Jeffrey certain gestic movements, which sets off the more observant character played by Willis.
Although the dvd commentry claims to have turned away from old Brucey's die hard image, theres definitely an element of you can't un-know knowledge in his fluency of beating certain minor characters. The commentry also comes gives the impression that the production team and se3nior staff working on the film credited themselves with it being more complex than it actually is. I think they were thinking matrix-style wtf stuff, but it's actually fairly straightforward if you read the dates in the sub-text.
It's the acting and some wonderful camera angles that really pull of this film. A CLEAR COLLECTORS MUST
Not bad..........2007-07-20
When a man is sent back into the past to find the cause of a disease which devastated the earth he ends up in a mental home which he escapes from. He then ends up torn between the two worlds going back and forth as he gets into a relationship with a woman in the past. This film is rather odd but in a good way. It is a Sci-Fi thriller about time travel and madness.
Surreal Sci fi from Gilliam.......2007-05-06
Twelve Monkeys is another bizarre but brilliant sci-fi epic from Terry Gilliam. Bruce Willis plays James Cole, a man we first encounter in a futuristic, squalid, underground prison. Cole, in exchange for parole, agrees to be sent back in time to find out about the virus that forced humanity underground. Time travelling seems not to be an exact science, and he is sent back to 1990, six years before the virus breaks out. In 1990, he meets Kathryn Railly (Madeline Stowe) and tries to convince her that he is not crazy but actually is from the future (as soon as Cole starts opening his mouth in 1990, he is shipped to the local mental institution). As the movie continues, Cole takes several jumps back in time and encounters Railly again and again, until she is finally convinced that what he is saying is true. Twelve Monkeys is intercut with surreal images, and the plot seems so bizarre at times that you could leave the film thinking Cole had dreamt the whole thing, or is he having some sort of psychotic breakdown and none of what we see is actually happening. But this is the brilliance of Gilliam; when you watch a movie of his, you never quite know what has actually happened, and you can have many a heated debate as to what it all means.
Another truly great aspect of this film is the Oscar-nominated turn by Brad Pitt. He is brilliant as the insane son of a research scientist. He is essentially the comic relief of the film, although he is dressed up as the suspected villain. His performance is truly amazing and not wooden and stilted, as he can be when he takes the lead. Spinetinglers believes he is a character actor trapped in a lead actor's body, as over his career he has put in some great performances when he has not had his name above the titles (Floyd in True Romance, Mickey O'Neil in Snatch and Tyler Durden in Fight Club.)
