Goofs:
Factual errors: There was a stoppage of play on the second to the last play of the game. Bobby got hurt and they had an injury timeout. In reality, any time a player is injured to the degree that they require an injury timeout, by rule the injured player must sit out out least one play immediately after the play in which the injury occurs. Instead they draw up a play and Bobby is in the game the very next play.

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 -
