 | | Long before Adam Sandler was making movies like “Punch Drunk Love” and “Spanglish,” he was making movies like “Billy Madison” and “Happy Gilmore.” To some, that may seem like a slam on the Saturday Night Live alum, but to many others (this reviewer included), it’s anything but. |
 | | Admittedly, “Billy Madison” and “Happy Gilmore” don’t represent Sandler’s best big-screen work, but they do stand as the first two steps he took on his road to superstardom, a fact that Sandler himself recognized when he named his production company Happy Madison. |
 | | There’s a lot to choose from, though only a handful of the deleted scenes from “Billy Madison” are anything more than slightly amusing, most notably those featuring the frisky Juanita (Theresa Merritt), the Madison family maid, and the “Happy Gilmore” deletions are merely average as well. |
