Waterboy Review

Rating: Null/10 (14 April 2017)

The Waterboy is a comedic movie starring Adam Sandler as a Louisianan homeschooled man who goes to college to play football. This legend is known as Bobby Boucher. This masterpiece was directed by Frank Coraci who absolutely nailed the essence of the underdog story. Adam Sandler has completely mastered the over the top goofball role in this movie and others such as Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore. The plot of the story was excellent especially the part where he tried to hide the fact that he played "Foosball" from his overprotective mother played by Kathy Bates Bobby started off working as a waterboy for the South-Central Louisiana State University Mud Dogs when one of the players made him mad. He proceeded to make an absolutely brilliant tackle on the quarterback who enraged him proving that he was an excellent pass rusher when he had the right motivation. He then enrolled in school to make him eligible for the football team. He drove his tractor to the school every day to go to attend classes and to practice. Each day his mom thought that he was just going to be the team's waterboy, little did she know he was becoming a sensation in the college football community. Bobby used inspiration from everyone who every wronged him to fuel him. Later in the film, his mother finds out about his football career and shuts it down immediately. Bobby and his coach, Coach Klein, spend a night trying to convince her to let him play for the Mud Dogs in the final game of the season against their rival. The two-story plot in the movie is excellent. The way he tries to hide football from his mother while balancing school and the fame he gets from his exceptional football play.
