	The Waterboy - Rotten Tomatoes
		Adam Sandler is charming and disarming as he dusts off and mashes together his beloved SNL charcters Cajun Man and Canteen Boy to create Bobby Boucher, the sweet-tempered, simple-minded, bayou man-child who relishes his job of eighteen years as the much-abused waterboy for the local "good" (well-funded but nasty of spirit) university's football team.
		Sandler has proven himself a worthy alchemist with The Waterboy, transforming swamp water to Evian.

	WATERBOY, THE/ 0.5 stars
		Although the movie seems to be unaware of it, the title figure is schizophrenic -- unhealthy aspects of his character include hallucinations, an obsession with water and a pestilent attachment to the aforementioned mother -- played by Kathy Bates, whose surname is ironically appropriate for this role.
		This fact, which proves that even the filmmakers have a detached attitude to their waterboy, makes the latter part of the film, with its ridiculous attempts at endearment, even more redundant.
		What a staggering fall from that success "The Waterboy" is. Its protagonist is told to "eat shit and die", and I supported the request.

		The waterboy for the Cougars, the state's best team, he gets fired by their coach, Red Beaulieu (JERRY REED), for "being stupid" and distracting his players by causing them to pick on him.
		Thus, with some trepidation I attended the screening for his latest film, "The Waterboy." While the previews are admittedly funny, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to see that Sandler and company have squarely aimed the picture back at his former target audience.
		While some films are so stupid they're unintentionally funny, and others are so moronic that they're not, "The Waterboy" manages to elicit a fair number of laughs despite its predictable plot, mediocre characters and mostly unimaginative writing.

	The Audio Revolution Review of 'The Waterboy'
		Adam Sandler's latest vehicle "The Waterboy" falls somewhere between the date-movie amiability of "The Wedding Singer" and the aggressive sports comedy of "Happy Gilmore." The tone is silly but not stupid, physically bruising yet not mean-spirited.
		Technical credits on "The Waterboy" are decent, with a few impressive, if not especially crucial, special effects flourishes, such as when a football playbook remains bright green while the flashback around it is rendered in fl-and-white.
		Aurally, "Waterboy's" best asset is its score, comprised of a greatest-hits album worth of songs about Louisiana and the South in general - "Born on the Bayou," "House of the Rising Sun," etc. - which are now and then allowed to flourish without interruption from the dialogue/sound effects track.

	Review: The Waterboy
		The Waterboy is Sandler's latest, following close on the heels of The Wedding Singer (the creative team, including director Frank Coraci and screenwriter Tim Herlihy, is the same).
		Klein agrees to let Bobby be the waterboy, but, after Bobby loses his temper and flattens one of the players after being teased, Klein talks him into joining the team as a line backer.
		The Waterboy is arguably Sandler's most enjoyable motion picture to date, but it's still far from a masterpiece.

	The Waterboy . Austin Chronicle . 11-09-98
		Here he's Bobby Boucher, a Louisiana football waterboy who, when fired by evil coach Reed, moves on to serve for the losingest college team in Louisiana history, which, unsurprisingly, is coached by Henry Winkler.
		Thoroughly wrapped in his mother's apron strings (Kathy Bates, even more over the top than her co-star, if such a thing is conceivable), he's the saddest sack around, taking his team's abuse as if it came with the job.
		The Waterboy is about as inoffensive a comedy as you're likely to find these days, although citizens of the Sportsman's Paradise might rankle at the heavy-handed depiction of their Cajun cousins.

	[No title]
		I had high hopes for "The Waterboy" since Sandler is again teamed with director Frank Coraci, who helped the comedian out of the dork comedy cellar in "The Wedding Singer." But this thing has less plot than a porno movie.
		As the movie's sole gimmick it's played to death, but director Coraci manages to conjure up a surprising number of variations on this one-note theme, and the Foley artists really work the audio for maximum bone-crunching effect.
		"The Waterboy" was written by Sandler and "Saturday Night Live" writer Tim Herlihy, who has co-written all Sandler's movies and still can't seem to get out of the comedy skit mind-set.

	Hollywood's hottest comic actor, Adam Sandler, scores with 'Waterboy' (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Last weekend's stunning $39.4 million opening of the modestly budgeted Disney comedy propelled the former ''Saturday Night Live'' cast member to the A-list ranks of Robin Williams and Jim Carrey.
		In ''The Waterboy,'' Sandler plays the dimwitted, swamp-raised water boy for a college football team who discovers his own gridiron talent as a linebacker with a lot of pent-up rage from a lifetime of being called an idiot.
		When the sultry biker babe who takes a liking to him unbuttons her top in a bedroom scene, Sandler's character remarks, ''I appreciate what you're showing me right now.'' The movie builds up to the Big Game with a feel-good outcome that's never in doubt.

		Sandler plays Bobby Boucher, a mildly retarded 31-year-old who lives with his mother and is the waterboy for a small Louisiana university.

	Review: The Waterboy
		Take "Happy Gilmore", add a girl who would never in real life be attracted to Sandler's character, have them fall in love, add a little bathroom humor, some anger, and have some sort of morals added in for a happy ending.
		The only problem is that the Waterboy is 31 years old and has been living with his mother in the swamps all his life.
		Sandler himself is somewhat annoying throughout, taking his "baby talk" gimmick to new levels of utterly annoying.

		After his attempt to broaden his appeal with The Wedding Singer, Adam Sandler returns back to familiar ground in The Waterboy.
		At times, watching The Waterboy is like watching one of those NFL sacking videos (you know, like The NFL's Greatest Career-Ending-Injuries).

	TheMovieBoy Review: The Waterboy (1998)
		Going into Sandler's latest picture, "The Waterboy," I was optimistic since it was written by Tim Herlihy and directed by Frank Coraci, the same people who worked on "The Wedding Singer." The fact that that film was good only makes "The Waterboy," an even more diappointing follow-up.
		Sandler plays Bobby Boucher, a constantly made fun of 31-year-old waterboy for a small-town Louisiana football team, who, in the opening scene, is fired by the hateful coach (Jerry Reed).
		The material in "The Waterboy" is so cliched and recycled that I wonder why Sandler, Coraci, and Herlihy decided to make this after the huge success of, "The Wedding Singer." They should have known this was a big step down for all involved.
