Waterboy: Not as good as Sandler's previous films.

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 1998)

Let's face it. We all know that Adam Sandler's real audience are college students. His films "Billy Madison" and "Happy Gilmore" both have a tremendous following among student bodies everywhere. But I feel that Sandler's influence is slipping in the writing of his movies. Any Sandler fan can tell a Sandler joke from another comic's. And it is obvious at certain parts of this movie that he had some influence in the writing of this movie(e.g. the alligator dinner, or "You can do it!"),but I was disappointed. I felt it could have been much better, and the humor was just not up to par with "Billy Madison". I'm hoping that Sandler doesn't try to duplicate a Jim Carey-like career move and try to become a serious actor, cuz it's not going to work. And I will look foward to his next movie, like all college students, but I'm hoping to see more of Sandler's personal style rather than a hybrid of two writers/comics.
