Rating: Summary: One of Adam's funniest movies besides Billy Madison Review: I rented this movie tonight and im watching it right now. i cracked up when i saw it in theatre. i hope Adam recieves my letter.
Rating: Summary: They just try to get too funny, so they are not... Review: This was a great cast (Sandler, Bates) and great characters. But they just were too dumb for us to laugh at them.Just a hint more serious, it would have been a great film!
Rating: Summary: It's all in good fun. Review: People either seem to love or hate this movie. Sandler and Winkler gave decent performances. I was entertained by this movie and I laughed a lot.
Rating: Summary: Why? Why did so many think this movie was funny? Review: Just NOT funny. I don't know about the rest of you, but I know there are only so many times I can laugh at "You can do it" and "That's what I call high quality H2O." Why did this movie make hundreds of millions of dollars? It was very boring and I found myself asking, "when the hell does this get funny?" Thank God I saw this movie for free when my friend rented it, because this movie is a waste of time.
Rating: Summary: Not funny unless you are under 10 Review: This show was a real disappointment. I wasn't able to sit through the whole thing. The humor is easy to describe: it's not there. It takes more than being stupid and unrealistic to make good humor. This show is an example of a good idea ruined. Watch one of Adam's other movies if you want something good.
Rating: Summary: An excellent movie for not so obvious reasons. Review: I'm not normally an Adam Sandler fan, but I absolutely love this movie! I am a Fairuza Balk fan, and this is the best showing of her that I have yet to see. Bates is excellent as usual, playing an oddball with professionalism. Reed and Winkler make for an interesting mix just to see how they've aged. Sandler is not his usual "look at me" stupid that marks most of his roles, so he is bearable even for a non-fan like myself. A bit of modesty suits him very well, even if it is to display backward antisocialism. But I must reiterate, this movie is for Fairuza Balk fans! She is incredibly beautiful, and here she's not hidden by the black garb of the occult. Something about her is irresistable. I encourage anyone to watch it for her, and not for Sandler, just to marvel at a work of art. I'm saving my fifth star for when she turns to the camera while she unzips her top :-). Adam who? This is Fairuza Balk's best movie yet!
Rating: Summary: Decent plot with tons of laughs Review: Although I would not say this is not Adam Sandler's best movie, it was still pretty damn good. I was rolling with laughter in many parts of the film. It should be noted, however, that it does get just too stupid and obscure at times. It's not as bad as some people say it is nor as good.
Rating: Summary: Critics lighten up! It's just a movie, and it IS funny! Review: I have only seen a couple of Adam Sandler movies, and there is certainly some humor in each one, as well as some really goofy stuff. But Waterboy really had me rolling. Not the whole thing, but there were so many scenes that made me laugh out loud. Another online review says they can't understand what's so funny about the character Farmer Fran: it's because you can't understand anything he says with that ridiculous heavy Cajun accent!!! Everytime you see Bobby's house, you hear "The Devil Went Down To Georgia". That was funny! Sure, it was repetitious, but that was what made it so funny. (Don't you people have "inside jokes" with your friends? Don't they always make you laugh?) The 1970's flashback with Jerry Reed and Henry Winkler was a killer! How about the cheerleaders for this pathetic team? Driven to drinking during the games! Kathy Bates played a very strange woman (and cook), and she even kept a mule (I think)in the house. A mule. OK, it was a predictable, stupid movie. But, man, it was funny! My wife won't watch it, but then she liked "You've Got Mail".
Rating: Summary: good Review: this movie show's how other people treat other's who are not like them, they may not mean to but people do treat some people like garbage.
Rating: Summary: Seen worse, seen better Review: I thought the Waterboy had some great moments. Adam is just being himself, a dope. Stuck in a rut like Jim Carey. Not an award winner, but can make you laugh.
