Soon, Bobby is back on the sidelines as the waterboy of the worst team in college football history, the Mud Hens, with a record fifty-one consecutive loses. The bumbling leader of this pathetic team is Coach Klein (Henry Winkler), who immediately befriends the confused Bobby. Once again, Bobby finds himself taunted and harrassed by the cruel athletes, but this time Coach Klein suggests that he should fight back. And does he ever. The years of repressed anger rush to the surface, as Bobby visualizes all those people that have hurt him in the past. The result is a leaping...
...Land in exchange for a sensitively humorous side, winning the "Best Kiss" with Drew Barrymore at the MTV Awards. This time, uniting with The Wedding Singer director Frank Coraci, the childish, rambunctiously funny Sandler has returned to the silver screen with his usual flair for the idiotic in The Waterboy, an entertaining film that shamelessly milks every ounce of laughter out of a few simple concepts...
...University of Lousiana football players to whom he unwaveringly delivers "cold, clear, liquid goodness." In the opening scene, Bobby demonstrates his occupational dedication by distilling and purifying every drop of water, which he distributes to the players with a contraption reminiscent of the Ghostbusters' particle-beam backpacks.

Sandleris at peak form, creating an outlandishlyridiculous, idiotic and character that capturesyour sympathy and your laughter. The plot is weakand often hackneyed, but Sandler's hilariousphysical comedy is reminiscent of the great JerryLewis. So go see The Waterboy if youcackled wildly at the immature, adolescent humorof Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore,but not if you desire the cozy, sweet, romanticcomedy of The Wedding Singer. Maybe"Canteen Boy" doesn't have a sensitive side afterall
...dances by guys who are shorter than I am and I constantly punctuate my sentences with "whatever!" Discontent over bra size is an all-too-frequent topic of discussion among my girlfriends. The mall is one of my favorite escapes. The last movie I saw was Adam Sandler's Waterboy, an adolescent masterpiece. Madonna's "Immaculate Collection" resides permanently in my Walkman. The lives and hairstyles of Dawson and Joey and the Salinger five are still frequent topics of conversation. How much has really changed since my years at Tilden Middle School? My wardrobe may have acquired some business suits...
