Bobby Boucher never wanted anything more than to quench the thirst of the dehydrated athletes who treat him like dirt! But when Coach Klein tells him to stand up for himself, it unleashes a torrent of bottled-up frustration.....and exposes a talent for defense that transforms him from a meek "water distribution engineer" to the hardest hitter ever to roam the playing field! And of course, hilarity ensues.
I'll be fair and say I'm not the greatest Sandler fan out there. Some movies of his I found to be just OK, some were pretty bad. This one however shines a whole new light on him as a very talented actor and a comedic genius! His character, Bobby, is somewhat mentally challenged and has several emotional issues, and it's astounding how Sandler is able to portray both the tragedy of this character while remaining continuously funny throughout the entire movie! Needless to say this is one of the best comedies I've seen in years and a movie I'd recommend to anyone who likes a good laugh. It's funny, it's witty and it's a pretty good story too. A film for the entire family!
