| DVD Description Adam Sandler vaulted into the $20-million-salary stratosphere with this, his second $100-million hit in 1998--a movie that further shows just how deeply embedded he is in the Jerry Lewis tradition of idiot comedy. He plays Bobby Boucher, a backwoods Cajun and a mentally challenged individual with a fixation on water: specifically, on serving the coolest, most refreshing H2O available to the college football team he has served since he was an adolescent. But when he's fired from his position, he takes up a similar job with a lowlier college team coached by neurotic Henry Winkler. One day at practice, Bobby loses his temper and delivers a bone-shaking tackle to the starting quarterback; before he can say, "blackened crawdads," he's the star of the team and leading it to a bowl game. But it's all against the wishes of his overprotective mother (Kathy Bates), who wants to keep her Bobby to herself--and that includes keeping him away from the floozy girlfriend (Fairuza Balk) who's sweet on him. There are two kinds of people in this world: People who find Sandler funny and people who view him as a neon-lit symbol of the decline of popular taste. You know who you are and, based on that, you can decide whether this is a movie for you. --Marshall Fine |

You will laugh until you cry My husband loves this movie so much that I am buying it for him again.
Tackling Fuel I can see some of the reviews bash this movie. I really am not sure what the problem is. Naturally if Adam Sandler is in it odds are it's going to be very simple humor, but there is always a need for those types of movies. Sometime you just need to pop in a movie that will make you laugh without having to devote any thought to it. I love The Waterboy. I think Adam Sandler as a mentally imbalance football player who is obsessed with water quality is very funny. I like that everyone including kids can enjoy this movie.
I would definately recommend this one for very simple laughs and a fun viewing.
Funny Funny Funny This is an oddball comedy that is very unique and funny. Kathy Bates is hilarious as his mother and it was good to see Henry Winkler doing a comedy again too. Overall a hilarious comedy, but I was a bit irritated that they gratuitously stuck an f-bomb in one scene. Im no prude, but it was out of place, didn't make the scene or movie any better and I believe was only done to make sure the movie got a more mature rating thereby causing more teens to want to see it when released in theatres. I see a lot of that movies though unfortunately. Without that one scene its actually not a bad movie to watch with your kids as long as they are teens or near teens. |
