Profile of The Waterboy

The Waterboy can be described as humorous and feel good. The plot revolves around a goofy hero, misfits, and ambition. Its comic aspect comes from grossout humor and silly humor. The Waterboy's main genres are comedy and sports. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. It is located in Louisiana. The Waterboy takes place in the 1990s. The movie has received attention for being a blockbuster and an award winner. It is well suited for teens. Note that The Waterboy involves profanity.

Summary of The Waterboy

Bobby Boucher (Adam Sandler), the much-abused waterboy of a successful college football team, gets fired but finds his true calling as a player for the neighboring down-and-out team. Unfortunately, his Momma doesn't approve of football (or as she calls it, foosball) and Bobby has to keep his gridiron success a secret. One of Sandler's biggest hits, featuring a group of bizarre Cajun characters and a sweetly goofy plot.

Critics Reviews

The New York Times
This escapist comedy is so cheerfully outlandish that it's hard to resist, and so good-hearted that it's genuinely endearing.
TV Guide
No one does deranged quite like Kathy Bates (the film's running gag involving Bates and the delicacies of Cajun cuisine is hilarious).

Users Reviews

classic Sandler
His character is semi retarded, he has anger issues, he is a boy trapped in a man's body, he has violent outbreaks... it's the typical Sandler character. Kathy Bates usually acts in serious movies and here it seems she has a lot of fun playing the...
