You pray for the WaterBoy to drown in this pathetic loser...

Don-102

THE WATERBOY is without a doubt one of the worst movies ever made, plain and simple.  I can't even say that it was a waste of money because it was a huge hit.  Sandler and his cronies have actually stolen our money with this mindless piece of crap.  I know critics are rough on Sandler's films. WEDDING SINGER was actually a good flick that poked fun at the 1980's and why not?  The 80's are an open wound that WEDDING SINGER exposed with hilarity.  It even developed a half-decent love story with the help of Drew Barrymore.  What the hell happened with this?  Did they think this was funny while they were making it or was it in post-production when they realized that it sucked?  Sandler is too talented to think this was any good.  The public bought it.  Why?  We'll never know.

I saw it on video, so thank God I did not pay $7.50 for a theater run. After watching it, I didn't even want it in the house overnight.  Sandler and his funny buddies, who get paid handsomely to make this garbage, go after the deep south for laughs.  You get the impression that every person in cajun Louisiana is dirty and stupid.  They can't be any dumber than the writers of this dud.  The filmmakers, and I use this term loosely, have no knowledge of the sport of football.  It is absolutely painful to sit through.

I know some people will read this and say I am too analytical or that I did not "suspend my disbelief" enough to enjoy this debacle.  Get real. "Bobby Bouche" is boring, and a good ending would've been for him to drown in the Gulf of Mexico with a football in his mouth.   (-1 of 10)
