Mama's Review

Rating: Null/10 (29 November 1998)

In lieu of the Waterboy (which I didn't like) and of Kathy Bates (the only good thing in the movie), I give you my mama's review of the movie. This is also to prove that undersexed fratboys and their equally undersexed younger brothers are not the only ones who enjoy Adam Sandler (amazingly enough). Mama said that she loved the movie. She was afraid that she would fall asleep through the film like she normally does, but she found herself laughing so hard that she couldn't sleep. Call it laugh-induced insomnia. She loved Adam Sandler's character and she quotes Kathy Bates' mom almost daily since the viewing. Mama has this weird ability to find an ounce of realism in any movie from Secrets and Lies to Plan 9 From Outer Space, so she found the Oedipal complex between Sandler and Bates very true-to-life. All in all, a fantastic movie from her point of view, one that she highly recommends the Waterboy to everybody of every age.
