“Billy Madison” (1995)
Duh, of course, O’Doyle still rules. If you’re in need of a very good laugh, Adam Sandler’s popular comedy “Billy Madison” is one of the flicks that kicks off Hulu’s November 2024 slate. Sandler stars as Billy Madison in the film, a rich and spoiled kid who’d rather spend his time chilling and drinking with his friends than being a productive member of society. But when his father threatens to give his hotel empire away to a more suitable, yet conniving, successor, Billy is given an ultimatum: retake and pass every grade in 24 weeks.

But when they are forced to make crucial decisions that could rip apart their romantic bond, they must juggle to maintain their relationship and what they’ve worked hard to achieve in their careers.
