Bobby Boucher, a socially inept 31-year-old from the swamps of Louisiana, is home schooled and sheltered by his over-protective Mama. His only contact with society is his waterboy job for a college team where the players relentlessly make fun of him, and his coach doesn't let him fight back. This all changes when Bobby gets a new coach who lets him stand up for himself. Bobby finally unleashes years of pent up rage and is transformed into the most devastating tackler on the team. Now Bobby has to learn how to play football, go to college and work with his relationship with criminal Vicki Vallencourt, all behind his Mama's back.

MOVIE REVIEW

Adam Sandler is best known for such movies as Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison. He is a genius in his own right, and The Waterboy, his latest achievement, furthers his prestige. His character's weird accent is pretty cheesy, but his stuttering, baby-style language adds to the comedy. Academy Award Winner Kathy Bates and Henry Winkler (Fonzi from "Happy Days") also are a delight to see, along Fairuza Bak, who is incredibly sexy in this movie. With Adam Sandler doing the script, and a collection of some talented and well-known actors and actresses, The Waterboy is a brainless but fun comedy.
