a few big laughs

Rating: Null/10 (25 November 2000)

Sandler's last offering "The Wedding Singer" spread little laughs througout, this one gave me big laughs but only a few times. The old standby, affecting a funny voice for the sake of laughs, actually worked here. Sanlder's southern accented kiddie voice made me smile most of the time. Though at 31, he's obviously playing the character as a child, as when he lowers his eyes and mutters "stop makin' fun of me" and then plows into somebody. The football coach of the team he serves water for (the still recognizable former Fonz', Winkler) talks him into joining the team because of his prowess at flattening players. His traditional mother objects as he's thrust into a party/slutty girls everywhere/reckless lifestyle. As mentioned earlier, they hit the mark a few times, (like the goofy Colonel Sanders tackle) but not enough for me to recommend.
