Review of The Waterboy

The Waterboy (1998)
6/10
Only REALLY good the first time
6 August 1999
I saw this movie the first time with a few friends, and throughout I couldn't stop laughing, it was one of the funniest movies I'd ever seen.. until...

The movie came out on pay-per-view. I remembered how much I loved it so I decided to get it. During the movie this time (the second time I'd seen it) it didn't seem as funny. I even found myself squirming in my seat a little bit. I don't know what happened, but I guess the magic in the movie died for me, it just wasn't as good the second time around. It could have been because I wasn't with my friends this time, but I doubt it.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it kind of ran out of steam for me. I love Adam Sandler movies, but this one just wasn't as funny as Happy Gilmore or Billy Madison. Watch it one time, you'll laugh pretty hard, but don't try to sit through the whole thing a second time, just the football parts. 6/10
