An agreeable yet forgettable comedy...January 26, 2006
The direction is as blunt and vacant as the plotting, the jokes are obvious and the performances (with a couple of exceptions) charmless.May 11, 2001
Sandler makes the laughs go down easy, even if The Waterboy isn't exactly quality H2O.August 12, 2009
There's an innocence to The Waterboy that makes the picture part slapstick and part fairy tale...The only problem with letting kids see this Adam Sandler movie? They might want to see another one. [Blu-ray]June 18, 2012
A witless and utterly predictable comic fantasy about a misfit turned hero.June 02, 2008
The formulaic mix of mirth and mayhem is aimed way down the MTV food chain...July 21, 2005
The film is amiably goofy.December 29, 2010
Really dumb, but many teens love it anyway.October 18, 2008
Though unabashedly goofy, this comedy also boasts some subtly ingenious moments of mirth.June 18, 2002
We've got somewhat entertaining trash here.July 24, 2009
A predictable, formulaic, dumb comedy that has about as much depth as Bobby . . . unless you think of it in Forrest Gump terms, and then it begins to get a little less offensive and a little funnier.July 12, 2002
As a satire on the only true religion of the American South -- football -- The Waterboy is delightful.
