Tiresome

There are some VERY hard hits, and a few funny parts, but mostly, this movie is just a juvenile, tiresome flick. 10-14 year-old boys love it, though.

Better read a book if you are bored then see this movie.

This is a pretty weak movies. Sometimes I like easy brain movies but this one is a waste of time. Lot's of stupid jokes for people with small brain. For example on the end of the movie when the father of the boy appears, the mother comes and tackle the father. Wow! So funny. I guess you have to be IQ 50 to like that. But that's not all. It's the usual movie type. 1 football team playing, loosing, get's a new player with "magic" powers and suddenly the teams wins, then loses, wins...and it's so predictable. Geez...so predictable. What you have to see a 1h 30' movies with an end you already know and it isn't funny. So if you are really bored, go read a book or something.P.S. Ah, at least they should shown Fairuza Balk breasts, but no...kids movie.

Revenge Of The Cajun Nerd

I have to admit: this Adam Sandler no-brainer is hilarious, just had me laughing right from the start. I'd rank it in my top ten funny movies of my collection and it features one of my favorite characters in film: Bobby Boucher Jr., a heckuva lot nicer guy than Sandler's "Happy Gilmore."


"Bobby" is about as innocent and a gentle-natured a guy as you'll find this side of Forrest Gump. You can't help but root for him, and that's the idea. What the film basically involves is another "Revenge Of The Nerds" theme except it's "nerd "- singular - as the picked-on waterboy turning the tables on the football jocks. Interesting to once again see Jerry Reed, whom I haven't seen much of since his days in "Smokey And The Bandit." He has much fatter face but everything else looked the same. Then there is Henry Winkler, "The Fonz" who now is the opposite: a guy with a terrible inferiority complex. All the characters in here are wildly exaggerated.

This cartoon-like comedy may not be high-brow, but so what? It's not totally low- brow either, but I do wonder why modern filmmakers cannot seem to make a comedy without all the sex references and the profanity. Nonetheless, Sandler's Cajun accent, his strange-looking-but pretty girlfriend (Fairuza Balk) and crazy mother (Kathy Bates, in the funniest role she's ever played) are all great fun to watch.

It's silly, particularly the ridiculous climactic football game, but then this movie is hardly to be taken seriously. It's all absurd humor,and 90 minutes was just right amount of time for it.

God save us and the movie industry

All I can say is "wow" what has gone wrong with this world that this movie could even rate the 6 that it currently has as its rating. It is crap. Whats worse is that because it raked in around 140 million dollars ANOTHER film is already about to hit the screens. This is bad positive reinforcement. To flock to crap only begets more crap. Its moronic and ranks along with all those "Ernest" films that failed so miserably. But the thing is that I can respect the Ernest films because they, at least, settled comfortably to the silty bottom where they belong

Amazingly hilarious

I thought this was one of the funniest movies of the year. If you don't like it, I'm going to "open a can of whup a##!" But seriously it was a great movie that did have a great story line that is different from Adam Sandler's other movies. Also the supporting cast, including Kathy Bates and Henry Winkler, was great.

bad

this movie is really bad. bad acting.

Two thumbs down

Adam's Best Yet!

Even though Adam Sandler has made America laugh with all of his videos and music, I have to say that this is the best of all. The cast was histerical! If you like foosball and foosball players or if you just want to laugh then ask Mama if you can get this movie. You'll love it!

Another Silly Movie of the Charismatic Adam Sandler

Bobby Boucher (Adam Sandler) is a thirty-one years old man with the mentality of a boy, and completely dominated by his mama (Kathy Bates). He supplies water to the football players and is a completely idiot. He is fired by the couch of his team and gets another job as water boy with a very poor and loser team. There, the couch finds out his potentiality as a soccer player, using his repressed anger. This is another silly movie of the charismatic Adam Sandler. Based on low-level jokes, terrible pronunciation and accent from the Mississippi area and American football, this movie was a great success in USA, but has not much to offer to viewers of countries that do not practice this sport. It may be a way of killing time and have some fun, but it is totally forgettable. My vote is six.

Unbelievably funny!!!

This was the best movie I've ever seen, including all the great classics, such as Gone with the Wind, The Godfather, and That Darn Cat. The acting was superb and the cinematography was simply amazing. I would recommend that this movie be used in film classes to demostrate movie making excellence. There will never be a better movie than this one.

good role for Adam Sandler

This movie was a good part for Adam Sandler. True, the jokes tended to misfire a bit, and you'll be annoyed with the way Sandler talks during the movie (You'll understand what I mean if you've seen this), but I liked it. Sandler gives a funny portrayal of a waterboy-turned-linebacker who is taught to take out all his frustrations for everyone who's ever given him grief when he tackles- and boy does he TACKLE!*** out of ****

On Adam Sandler's Movie Making Picks

I have to say that I love Adam Sandler! I have all his c.d.s and seen every movie he was ever in but I would have to truthfully say that ths movie was stupid. I mean, Dumb and Dumber was also stupid, but it was VERY funny. I just think he could have picked a more funnier movie than this one. Although I thought the cutest part was when he says to his "mama", "I like Vicki and she likes me back!"

Some may consider this Adam Sandlers best, but I don't

Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Bid Daddy. These are just a few of my favorite Adams Sandler films, and his best may I add. But some people consider The Waterboy Sandlers best film ever. Well I'm sorry but I beg to differ. Sandler plays Bobby Boucher Jr. who is considered an idiot because of his annoying accent and slow mind. His devil hating mama pampers him too much and he just got fired from his job as water boy distributer from a big college football team. Bobby then becomes the new water boy for the worst college football team ever The Mud Dogs, being coached by mentally broken down Coach Klien played by Henry Winkler. Bobby gets insulted by his new team mates only for the coach to tell him to stand up for himself. Bobby then pictures the people who has made fun of him in his life on his targets shoulders and tackles them to the ground! Thanks to Bobby's anger tackles, he becomes a tackler for the Mud Dogs and leads them to the Burbon Bowl. Problem is along the way, his momma goes into the hospital with a "broken" heart, Bobby's jail bird girlfriend disrespects him, and his old football team are the ones who will be facing him at the Bowl. What will Bobby do?I'm not saying this is a bad movie but it is totally off from a great movie. One main problem with the movie is Sandler himself. He does a great job as Bobby except his characters accent (which is more of a stutter, whine, scream, and mentally retarded yelp rolled into one) makes your eardrums cringe every time he speaks. It gets so annoying after half the film that you just can't wait for the movie to pick up the pace and be over with. But if you really get past the voice and look beyond the dumb atmosphere, you fall right into the movie and really enjoy it.Now Sandler isn't the only character that makes the film "dumb." Every character in this movie is like a rejected Bugs Bunny cartoon character refused to be shown on cable broadcast. First there's Bobby with his nails on a chalk board voice, Coach Klien who likes acting retarded every time he has a bad play thrown, evil Coach Red who is just a stupid jerk, Farmer Fran the assistant coach who is nothing but a dumb Amish farmer who can't even speak right, Mama Boucher who's devil hating persona falls to the ground only after three minutes of depth, Rob Schnider as his classic Townie character who shout's nothing but "You can do it!", and of coarse we have Vickie Valencourt, Bobby's love interest, but she isn't really needed in the movie. Sure she's a nice piece of cast decoration but her character is so annoying. She's a criminal, psychic, and murderer wrapped into one body and the only time she does anything good is to help Bobby at the big football bowl game in some stupid plot turn that only last a mere thirty seconds.The jokes are real cornball but in a good way. With all the football moments and hard tackling, the jokes are pretty low tack. The special effects are just plane bad looking when Bobby pictures his anger on people's shoulders and the coach pictures babies and pooches. Also the whole football team are nothing but big babies wearing jerseys. One is a dumb playboy, another is a dim witted Frankenstein, another seems like a gay punter who likes to picture KKK members heads on his football before he kicks em', it just gets so stupid after a while. You even get tired of watching this movie all the way up to the big bowl game at the end of the film after seeing all the really bad jokes and seeing Bobby tackle so many people for some stupid reason. Like in one scene, he tackles his professor for saying his mama was wrong about what makes an alligator so meanWhat the Waterboy is though is a good time slot filler. If you just want a slow paced dumb comedy, sure you will get a kick out of it. Like I said, it's not a bad movie but it's too stupid and corny just to take seriously. I enjoyed it a little so maybe you could too. I give the Waterboy a 6. If you want Classic Sandler, get Happy Gilmore or Billy Madison. If you want Sandler's second to rate cornball comedies, get this. I still say Happy Gilmore was his best. The Waterboy= C+

great

the waterboy is one of my favorite movies. like all of his movies, adam sandler's character has some "issues." "look who's on TV mama. its the devil." bobby has some anger issues, which helps him become a great linebacker. he decides to go to college against his overbearing mother's wishes. wackiness ensues. (sorry for the cliché)i saw it a few years ago, i don't remember much about it. it was good though, i know that. pretty appropriate,by most people's standards. some language and a couple innuendos. i young when i watched it, and the only reason its pg 13 is some language. SOME language.

OK, but not too great

I'll go on record by saying that this is the first Adam Sandler movie I've ever seen. I went to it on my birthday (16) with my mom and three of my friends. There was a choice between this and seeing "There's Something About Mary" for my fourth time(their first). Well, they said that I should see something different. They (friends) came out laughing with huge smiles on their faces, saying how totally hilarious the movie was. I, on the other hand, was a bit puzzled as to what they were laughing so hard about. I laughed at some of the scenes, and the movie does come off as entertaining, but was it really that good? Some of the great scenes were when Sandler held up traffic with his riding mower and when his mother tackled his father at the end. It's good, but Sandler has had better movies than this.

Hilarious!

I found "The Waterboy" to be hilarious. Adam Sandler's best role to date. As Bobby Boucher, he made me laugh and laugh. I also loved Fairuza Balk's role as Vicki Vallencourt. I liked the way the director peeled the skin off of what was going to happen, and then let it all wind up! The story of a Waterboy who gets fired by his team, and moves on to bigger and better things on a new team with a huge losing streak. He manages to maintain both Waterboy and Football Player duties, while dodging Mama Boucher and keeping love interest Vicki happy. But things start to go wrong, Mama's sick, Vicki's mad, and the team hates Bobby. Watch to see what happens!

Actually, it is a no star ranking. BAD! BAD! BAD!

It is considered the worst movie I've seen. 1. low class humor. 2. insulting audience's intelligence. 3. lousy directing. 4. nothing I can think of is good.

Appalled and certainly NOT funny!

This was the worst film I have ever seen done by Adam Sandler. I was appalled he had anything to do with it. There was nothing funny at all about the poor character and where were the morals to this story. It's not okay to make fun of people who are different, and it's not okay for them to change to suit the way their preppy friends think.. JUST NOT FUNNY

EVERYTHING YOU LOOK FOR IN A COMEDY

BEING THAT I WAS THE FIRST ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF THE FILM, I'M A LITTLE PREJUDICE. I GIVE IT 10 STARS!

Oh yeah, this is evidence Americans like shiny objects

Adam Sandler... geez. The simple fact that he makes money off garbage like this (everything else of his is just like this) and guys like Steve Martin and Bill Murray--who on their worst day beat out anything Sandler on his most inspired day--struggle with their films for the simple fact they make funny films with a concept, or you might even have to think a bit about the humor. Fans of Sandler are the same folks that let MTV dictate their lives and consider the Teletubbies "cool" just because it's hip to like what toddlers go for. Someone explain that fad to me: teens and people in their early 20's liking preschooler fare.Just like Farley and Spade, Sandler left SNL, where he actually was funny, and succumbed to making easy-laugh bile on film. The only SNL'er that left for the big screen and actually has continually made the most of it is Mike Myers. So far, out of his four films in which he was the star, each of them have truly been hysterical.Most Sandler fans are the type of people that would say, "If you don't like Adam Sandler films, you need to drink s'more." Exactly, because that's what it'll take to actually stomach one minute of any of his films.

Smooth transaction

I got the dvd within a week of ordering it. No problems whatsoever. Great, smooth transaction. Highly recommended.
