| I still can't figure out why people went in droves to see this movie. Now
before you go assuming I'm some sort of high brow snob, who can't appreciate
a little dumb humor, let me say that I love cheap humor. I thought There's
Something About Mary was one...more |

| Jim Carrey was regarded as the funniest man in Hollywood. Then, things started
to change. He started doing serious comedy, then moved onto drama. Who was the
torch passed down to? Adam Sandler. But, people thought he might change after

| Adam Sandler is the luckiest man on earth. After leaving Saturday Night
Live, he descended into the movie business. Such movies as the exquisite
Bulletproof with Damon Waynes, the classy Billy Madison, and, the sensationally
dead Happy Gilmore. more |

| I have read numerous critical reviews on The Waterboy. Enough negative ones
to rate this film the worst movie of the year. Now, in my oppinion, I don't
think it is the worst. More like the second to worst. more |

| There's a reason why there are more romantic comedies than slapstick movies:
they cost less, are easier to make, and are a more sound investment. After
all, we all want to fall in love, and what better place to do so that at the
movies? In nearly makes...more |

| It's probably damning the picture with faint praise to say "The Waterboy"
may well the best Adam Sandler movie ever. Certainly, for those who can't
abide Sandler even in the smallest doses, that statement won't entice them
into the theater.
But this...more |

| After his attempt to broaden his appeal with The Wedding Singer, Adam
Sandler returns back to familiar ground in The Waterboy. It may not be
terribly innovative, but Sandler's in peak form, and he delivers a
humorous (if predictable) comedy. more |

| **1/2 (out of 4) In spite of Roger Ebert's extremely negative review,
The Waterboy was the sold-outest show of the day when we went. After

| Actually, if you’ve seen any of Adam Sandler’s films, you know that
you can expect a film that is likably dim-witted. Sandler was affable
in his last film, theWedding Singer. Here as the meek Bobby Boucher,
he hasn’t lost any of his charm as a doofus...more |

| It's amazing how a comedian can have the some of the funniest stand-up

| The premise is as absurd as one would expect from an Adam Sandler vehicle:
