Darren McGavin may have left us, but this movie never will., 28 February 2006
10/10
Author: Lee Eisenberg (eisenberg.lee@gmail.com) from Portland, Oregon, USA

The 10/10 rating of course only applies if you like goof-ball lowly humor; if you don't, then avoid this movie like you would the Ebola virus. As the title character, Adam Sandler does what you might expect. Also starring are Darren McGavin (RIP), Bridgette Wilson, Bradley Whitford, Josh Mostel, Steve Buscemi, and Chris Farley. All in all, "Billy Madison" is stupid and funny at the same time, just like "A Night at the Roxbury" and "Dude, Where's My Car?".

And one more thing. Darren McGavin, wherever you are, I'll not only remember you for "The Night Stalker", "A Christmas Story", and your "X Files" appearances, but also for this one
