Trivia:
Suzanne Lloyd Hayes, granddaughter of silent screen star Harold Lloyd, filed a $50 million dollar lawsuit against the Walt Disney Company in 2000, claiming that this movie was a rip-off of Lloyd's silent film classic The Freshman (1925). By 2002, the courts had ruled against her. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Derek kicks the field goal in the Bourbon Bowl game, as the ball crosses the goal posts, the scoreboard clearly shows the score being 17-0. The very next shot shows the "correct" score as 27-17. moreQuotes:
Lynn Swann: You gonna add another championship trophy to the old case downstairs?Coach Red Beaulieu: That's kinda like my old man told me one time, Lynn. The only thing better than a crawfish dinner, is five crawfish dinners.

Amusing but typical Adam Sandler vehicle about a water boy for a football team who has the amazing ability to get extremely mad and violent (picture Sandler as the Incredible Hulk). When a football coach (Henry Winkler, a.k.a. The Fonz) sees Sandler's amazing talent, he gets him on his football team...much to the dissaproval of his overcontrolling mother (Kathy Bates).
A lightweight comedy handled with playfulness. "The Waterboy" scores big points for laughs. If you want an hour and a half of fun, see this movie!
3.5/5 stars -
