Another comedy, another poor quality film

Rating: Null/10 (11 November 1998)

The film was terrible. Sandler's role of naive adult has been beaten to death. Not one thing was funny about it. The kids in the theater (most of them under 12) were laughing the hardest at the perverted jokes and innuendos laced throughout The Waterboy. Even worse was the overall appearance of the film, which had lighting suited for the set of Seinfeld rather than the superior lighting usually expected on the big screen. The camera style was also inferior. Nothing about it was unique. The only good acting was by Cathy Bates, unless you consider Adam Sandler's role of idiot (which he played in his Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, and The Wedding Singer) to be good acting.
