The Waterboy
Product ID: 8816916
Product Description America's favorite wild and zany funnyman, Adam Sandler (50 FIRST DATES, MR. DEEDS, PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE), scores big laughs in a smash comedy hit where the laughs never run dry! Just an oddball mama's boy from the back bayous of Louisiana, Bobby Boucher (Sandler) never wanted anything more than to quench the thirst of the dehydrated athletes who treat him like dirt! But when Coach Klein (Henry Winkler -- HOLES, TV's HAPPY DAYS) makes the call that allows Bobby to finally stand up for himself, it unleashes a torrent of bottled-up frustration ... and exposes a talent for tackling that transforms him from a meek "water distribution engineer" into the hardest hitter ever to roam the gridiron! Also featuring award-winning Kathy Bates (ABOUT SCHMIDT, TITANIC, MISERY) and sexy Fairuza Balk (ALMOST FAMOUS, RETURN TO OZ) in a hilarious cast of stars -- here's your chance to join the millions everywhere who've proudly stood and cheered for THE WATERBOY! desertcart.com Adam Sandler vaulted into the $20-million-salary stratosphere with this, his second $100-million hit in 1998--a movie that further shows just how deeply embedded he is in the Jerry Lewis tradition of idiot comedy. He plays Bobby Boucher, a backwoods Cajun and a mentally challenged individual with a fixation on water: specifically, on serving the coolest, most refreshing H2O available to the college football team he has served since he was an adolescent. But when he's fired from his position, he takes up a similar job with a lowlier college team coached by neurotic Henry Winkler. One day at practice, Bobby loses his temper and delivers a bone-shaking tackle to the starting quarterback; before he can say, "blackened crawdads," he's the star of the team and leading it to a bowl game. But it's all against the wishes of his overprotective mother (Kathy Bates), who wants to keep her Bobby to herself--and that includes keeping him away from the floozy girlfriend (Fairuza Balk) who's sweet on him. There are two kinds of people in this world: People who find Sandler funny and people who view him as a neon-lit symbol of the decline of popular taste. You know who you are and, based on that, you can decide whether this is a movie for you. --Marshall Fine Review: Great movie - I love Adam Sandler movies. He is one of my favorite comedians. This is one of his finest. Review: Sandler classic! - Hilarious!

I loved this movie
I’d never seen that movie before but it was HILARIOUS! I wouldn’t recommend watching it unless your like 16+ but the humor was very on point for an Adam Sandler Movie. Now I finally understand the “YOU CAN DO IT” reference!

A blast from my childhood
I remember a time where you couldn't throw a moderately sized rock without hitting a billboard for an Adam Sandler movie. He was quite literally everywhere. Now I'm not complaining about it, but he had way more misses than he had hits. This was one of his better hits. Sure, it's campy as all hell, the characters are over the top (Especially Cathy Bates character but damn if she doesn't make it awesome), and they finale was super predictable, but it's entertaining. Honestly, that's what matters in movies. So long as you can watch it and not get bored it's a good movie. I do have one gripe. Who wrote the trivias for this video? Have they never watched football before? One of the notes is that "at the end, when Bobby's team scores to win the game, they still would have had to go for the 1 or 2-point conversion, so the game's score should have been 31-27 or 32-27." No they wouldn't have. The clock had already run out, meaning that was the very last play of the game, and seeing as they ended 3 points ahead, there was no point to going for more. I hate when idiots write trivia.

Wieder so ein typischer Adam Sandler Film. Immer wenn ich schlecht drauf bin schau ich von ihm einen Film an und die Welt ist wieder in Ordnung. Liebenswerter Aussenseiter wird zum Football Star und was mir bei diesen Filmen auch gefällt ist das Sandler immer wieder seine ganzen Kumpels in irgendwelchen Nebenrollen besetzt. Fairuza Balk als Freundin spielt großartig.
