Okay, it's a silly movie, but you don't expect Shakespeare from Adam Sandler do you?
It's a boy meets girl, boy proves to be naive to the point of stupidity but prevails nonetheless, boy inadvertantly turns out to be a sports hero, type movie. Typical fare really.
On the negative side of things, Sandler's character actually grates at times and some of the slapstick is a little wearisome but the overall storyline isn't too bad though rather predictable.
On the positive side of things, some of the football scenes feature amazing tackles and action. And the performances of Henry Winkler and Fairuza Balk are excellent.
Predictable, a tad silly, but the Waterboy remains enjoyable.
