The CinePearl Take

The Waterboy is a 1990s English film that blends comedy and american football — expect humour and a lighter touch. Frank Coraci directs and the script comes from Tim Herlihy. With 13 credited cast members, it has a wide, ensemble feel. Made in United States, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring English-language films. Released in 1998, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 90 minutes, it keeps a brisk pace.
