Plots(1)
Bobby Boucher (Adam Sandler) is just a mild-mannered country boy whose lifelong dream extends no further than serving water to the football team during breaks in play. The team don't always appreciate Bobby's value and treat him little better than a slave, but things change when coach Klein (Henry Winkler) gives him a chance to play. It emerges that the years of pent up frustration have turned Bobby into a turbo-charged dynamo in defense. He swiftly rises from waterboy to superstar. (Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment)

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.

This won't be the best Sandler film either. I don't like how he overacts here. He's capable of it, but it just doesn't fit his movies, at least not to such an extent. I prefer him in a more normal way of overacting only occasionally. Otherwise, the film is entertaining at times, although not necessarily because of Sandler, but rather because it's quite simple and straightforward.
