      Had Adam Sandler not made such an impressive artistic leap so recently with The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy wouldnt seem quite so dehydrated. ( Read More )
    • Roger Ebert

      A character whose manner and voice has the effect of fingernails on a blackboard! ( Read More )
    • The direction is as blunt and vacant as the plotting, the jokes are obvious and the performances (with a couple of exceptions) charmless. ( Read More )
