Goofy, but funny

Rating: Null/10 (12 December 1999)

I rented this movie from my local video store one time. I thought it was pretty funny. Adam Sandler was just great as the mentally challenged waterboy who provides drinks for the local college football team of a small Louisiana town. The mother (played by Kathy Bates) is just plain stubborn. She won't let her son go to college (not to mention the fact that he's a 31 year-old man) nor will she let him play football, or in her words "foosball." She thinks they are both the Devil. One thing I noticed was how attached the mother was to their mule. She would play badminton with him and she even let him live right inside the house with them. Another funny thing was that whenever someone badmouths the waterboy's mother, he starts to run at them and attack them. This later put him on the football team. I think I would give this movie a three star rating.
