What happens

Billy Madison is a 1995 American comedy film directed by Tamra Davis, written by Adam Sandler and Tim Herlihy, and produced by Robert Simonds. The film stars Sandler in the title role, alongside Bradley Whitford, Bridgette Wilson, Darren McGavin, Mark Beltzman, Larry Hankin, and Norm Macdonald in his feature film debut. It tells the story of a wealthy but immature man (Sandler) who must repeat grades 1 through 12 to prove himself worthy of inheriting his father's (McGavin) company. Billy Madison was produced by Robert Simonds Productions and released by Universal Pictures on February 10, 1995. The film debuted at No. 1 at the North American box office and grossed approximately $26.4 million worldwide against a $10 million budget. The film received generally negative reviews from critics. However, in subsequent years, Billy Madison has developed a cult following and is frequently ranked as one of Sandler's most popular and defining works. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
