Decently Funny!

Rating: 7/10 (21 September 2011)

The Waterboy is not that bad of a movie. I have to say this is my least favorite Adam Sandler movie and I'm giving it a 7 so it says a lot about my liking of Sandler. Maybe it was the annoying voice of Sandler's character, but I felt detracted somewhat during the entire movie.
This is about a water boy who becomes a "star" football player on a ragtag team because he tackles his opponents harshly and without mercy. Meanwhile he has to keep this a secret all from his too-nosy mother.
I didn't like Sandler's character a lot. I was disappointed about that. I did love Kathy Bates as his mother. Now she was the one who had me laughing.
Overall, this a solid, watchable film. It has the same old formulaic sports story but I still liked it. I rate this film 7/10.
