It's all absurd humor, and 90 minutes was just right amount of time for it.
VISUALIZE AND ATTACK MOVIE
It's silly, particularly the ridiculous climactic football game, but then this movie is hardly to be taken seriously. Nonetheless, Sandler's Cajun accent, his strange-looking-but pretty girlfriend (Fairuza Balk) and crazy mother (Kathy Bates, in the funniest role she's ever played) are all great fun to watch. This cartoon-like comedy may not be high-brow, but so what? It's not totally low- brow either, but I do wonder why modern filmmakers cannot seem to make a comedy without all the sex references and the profanity. All the characters in here are wildly exaggerated. Then there is Henry Winkler, "The Fonz" who now is the opposite: a guy with a terrible inferiority complex. Interesting to once again see Jerry Reed, whom I haven't seen much of since his days in "Smokey And The Bandit." He has much fatter face but everything else looked the same. What the film basically involves is another "Revenge Of The Nerds" theme except it's "nerd "- singular - as the picked-on waterboy turning the tables on the football jocks. You can't help but root for him, and that's the idea. I'd rank it in my top ten funny movies of my collection and it features one of my favorite characters in film: Bobby Boucher Jr., a heckuva lot nicer guy than Sandler's "Happy Gilmore." "Bobby" is about as innocent and a gentle-natured a guy as you'll find this side of Forrest Gump.

I have to admit: this Adam Sandler no-brainer is hilarious, just had me laughing right from the start.
