This Waterboy shoots low and hits it mark.

Rating: Null/10 (26 October 1999)

This movie fits into the genre where, if viewer lowers his/her expectations, then the movie works pretty well. The Waterboy is kind of a thinking man's "Ernest"... it's silly but tries to thrown in a virtue or two.
Its main weakness is that it is _almost_ a family movie but really isn't because of needless crudities (language and sexual content). If they had gone for "G" or "PG", it could have been in the tradition of "low brow classic" like Flubber, & Love Bug. It certainly is as good as those.
Great soundtrack.
STAR WATCH: I had never seen Fairuza Balk before but she is hot! When I looked her up on IMDB, I was surprised at how much she has done already and that she has three releases slated for 2000. I suspect that she has been overlooked. I just dug her off-beat, edgy sexiness. She is the kind of woman most us guys wished we had dated a least once before we got married.
