I REALLY like this movie. I just happen to love the Waterboy. I know, it makes no sense, but sometimes you have to succumb to big city living and voodoo woman named Phyllis.

Let’s be honest: It’s a difficult film to process the first time. I think this is mainly because PTA isn’t giving us the usual amount of foreshadowing and clues that we are used to in a straightforward, formulaic comedy.

Instead, he has these long takes and the movie is full of naturalistic acting. On top of that, he has these widescreen compositions that scream “artsy-fartsy,” but he is framing all these dull-looking locations and decrepit sets.

It really is a movie that rewards you with multiple viewings. Every time I see it, I get more out of it!

At 18, seeing this in the theater…I hated it.

But I still like The Waterboy more.
