Waterboy

Pros: Funny, entertaining movie for the most part.  Decent cast.
Cons: Very silly at times.  Won’t appeal to everyone.

Even though Adam Sandler became famous while on Saturday Night Live, many people just don't care for him.  I've seen several of his movies and I usually enjoy them, even the sillier ones.  I recently watched The Waterboy ...

Pros: Kathy Bates' acting
Cons: Adam Sandler, lack of comedy, and poor story line.

I had the privilege (or, at least, I think it was a privilege) of watching Waterboy last night. I had heard from many, many people that it was a great movie. They all told me that it was very funny and I just had to see it.

Well, I didn’t...

Pros: It's mildly amusing to suggest that a single linebacker can win a bowl game alone.
Cons: It's not fair to ask Kathy Bates to carry a movie alone.

Few things in this world are harder to understand than what Adam Sandler was thinking as he slapped together his multi-regionalist accent for The Waterboy--few things, that is, apart from the popularity of the routinely unfunny comedy in which...

Pros: fun and hysterically funny
Cons: swearing, sexuality

The Basic Plot
Bobby Boucher (Adam Sandler) is a 31 year old from Jackson's Bayou, Louisiana who still lives with his Mama (Kathy Bates). After working as a "water distribution engineer" for the University of Louisiana for many MANY years...

Pros: Are you kidding me?
Cons: Where do I start?

There is a man, who, no matter what the movie is, if he’s in it, I always want to see it. That man is Adam Sandler. From his touching speech at the end of Big Daddy, to his winning put in Happy Gilmour and not forgetting his ...

Pros: there's a pretty funny part about a snake part
Cons: Adam Sandler's wisping Cajun accent is the stuff of nightmares

I almost don't know why I'm going ahead with a review of this benighted shipwreck of a film. My in-box is already bulging with hate mail for my reviews of Titanic and The Patriot - and I have, of late, picked up a comment-stalker intent on...

Pros: Pretty funny in places.
Cons: But not THAT funny, very typical Adam Sandler plot.

God only knows what pop-culture has come to these days, especially in the motion picture industry. No matter how stupid and unfunny the film may be, teenagers will somehow manage to find humor in such stupidity (especially sexually-charged stupidity) and ...

Pros: Funny, sweet, makes you laugh
Cons: none

I really enjoyed The Waterboy, with Adam Sandler. I first went and seen it in the theatre and then when it came to video, i rented it. When it became available to buy, i bought it to add to my collection. Why, you ask? I simply LOVE Adam Sandler. =o)
...

Pros: Bates and Winkler, ultimately rather sweet
Cons: lots of crude humor, Sandler's stammer

When I saw that The Waterboy was on television yesterday, I wasn't sure whether I wanted to watch it. I often find Adam Sandler's performances rather grating, though I'm not sure how much of that is him and how much is the roles he chooses to ...

Pros: funny, unique characters, good vs. bad conflict
Cons: may offend those who live in South Louisiana

Adam Sandler is a very gifted actor who can show some real flexibility. Granted, many of his characters have similarites (for example, Happy Gilmore is really just Billy Madison on the golf course). But he shows a little more of what he can do in The...

Pros: Extremely fun and hilarious
Cons: not really a family movie

I am a fan of Adam Sandler, therefore seeing this film was a must. Adam Sandler plays Bobby Boucher, a dimwit waterboy that ends up playing football for the worst college football team around. Adam's innocence appeals to most audiences and continues to...

Pros: Kathy Bates dives right into a good role.
Cons: Laugh-per-minute ratio is pretty low.

I usually only tell something like to my closest and oldest friends, but I kind of liked some of Adam Sandler's previous movies. "Happy Gilmore" and "The Wedding Singer" weren't exactly Oscar-caliber, but they had some laughs in them....

Pros: a lesson
Cons: none

The Waterboy was an excellent movie in it's own right. It was another movie for the entire family to watch! A movie you can laugh and cry with. Most was funny though! It shows you how fast that people will judge a book by it's cover. Also, shows how hard...

Pros: Funny, you can believe what happens
Cons: Sometimes the speech is hard to understand, listen closely

Adam Sandler usually doesn't appeal to me. His rolls all seem to be the same, but I just had to see this movie. I enjoy football, and the trailers that I remembered seeing when this movie first came our really drew me in.

That said, I have...

Pros: Something different. Funny and exciting.
Cons: ...not really...

Adam Sandler has done it again, putting out another movie that appeals to some of the lowest and best forms of humor. This time, in "The Waterboy", he not only reaffirms his place as the King of Teenage Comedy, but brings Kathy Bates along...
