The Waterboy

Newcity Chicago

DIRECTED BY: Frank Coraci

REVIEWED: 11-23-98

Alternately sweet and spit-out-your-smuggled-in-beer funny, Adam Sandler's latest goofball odyssey centers on a slow-witted, big-hearted mama's boy who transforms a backwoods college football team into a bowl-game contender. If the idea of seeing Fonzie's stunt ass sporting a Roy Orbison tattoo sounds strangely appealing, this is the movie for you. There's also a great running gag featuring an old professor who looks and dresses exactly like Colonel Sanders. As they say in those new KFC ads, "Colonel's gettin' jiggy with it."

--Frank Sennett
