ONE WORD: DREADFUL!!

Rating: 1/10 (7 June 1999)

It's no wonder why SISKEL & EBERT placed this film on their list of WORST FILMS of 1998. There was nothing remotely humorous about this film. Jokes that would have received heckling if the main characters had been standup comedians! And the most annoying factor of this film was SANDLER'S voice. Can somewhere care to explain to me the humor in pretending to speak like a squirmy nebbish!? Yes, you have two schools of comedic films. CEREBRAL and SLAPSTICK. e.g. WOODY ALLEN would be considered a cerebral comedic genius. Both in writing, acting, and directing. MEL BROOKS would fall into the latter gener of SLAPSTICK. But for God sakes, their films are funny!! Now I know why THE WATERBOY was written by SANDLER'S college buddies! Because the end result looks like a COLLEGE FILM SHORT! Unfortunately, the duration of the film wasn't as concise! Remember, revenues never equates to QUALITY!! Lastly, how the hell did HENRY "THE FONZ" WINKLER & Academy Award winner KATHY BATES agree to be in this!? Unbelievable to say the least!!
