Bobby Boucher is dol op zijn baantje als waterdrager voor het football-team van de school, ondanks het feit dat hij constant het slachtoffer is van grove grappen en vernederingen. Zijn leven verandert als hij ontdekt wordt als een uniek football-talent en op de universiteit wordt toegelaten. Helaas moet hij dit nieuws geheim houden voor zijn overbezorgde moeder Helen Boucher. (Buena Vista International)

This is not Sandler's best film. I don't like how they're being too ridiculous here. He's good at it, but somehow it just doesn't fit with his usual films, at least not to this extent. I prefer him normal, with a little goofing off now and then. Otherwise, the film is occasionally amusing, although not so much from Sandler's side. It's primarily straightforward and simple.

I just don't like Adam Sandler, and he has practically the same expression in Waterboy as in Billy Madison, so it's actually quite cliché, which could be said of everything else. The only bright spot was, as always, the great Kathy Bates, who just knows how to do it and it's a real shame she was involved in something so silly. In short, a film that is incredibly predictable and which I stumbled across purely out of boredom.

Well, Sandler went way overboard on this one. An actor like him has no need to play retarded idiots whose job is to fetch water for another bunch of morons in the form of the local football team. The story is predictable from start to finish, desperately cheesy and unfunny on top. The 2 stars are mostly out of sympathy.
