Alright, I was a little nervous when I heard that this was in production because it was going to be set in Louisiana. Having been born there, I was just waiting for them to tear the southerners down. Having always been one who can take a joke, I went into the Waterboy, and absolutely loved it. It's all good-spirited fun that everyone can enjoy and afterwards I felt silly for even being concerned to begin with.
I really don't think I need to give a plot description here, because I'm sure, by now, everyone and their brother has seen this. It was great to see Jerry Reed in a movie. It'd been a longtime since I'd seen him in anything and I did meet the guy about four years ago. He's truly one of the nicest guys you could ever meet, and to see him playing "the meanie" was downright hilarious. I espescially loved the scene of him sitting in a bar, eating a burger (while "the house of the rising sun" by the Animals is playing). That scene still makes me giggle when I think about it. I also loved his lines "don't go messin' with the champ" and "Now, I'm gonna have that book, one way or the other, or things is gonna get awful physical around here". LOL. He had some of the most memorable quotes in the movie.
I really hope to see a Waterboy sequel. This one was fun for the whole family and it's even better with every viewing.
