With Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison to his resume, Adam Sandler has never been accused of making smart and cultured motion pictures, but here in The Waterboy, Sandler takes this sense of juvenile humor to a new and even more stupid level. Starring as Bobby Boucher, Sandler plays the most slow-witted (read: stupid) of all his characters to date, that of a college football powerhouse's waterboy in Louisiana. Seemingly the product of some backwoods in-breeding, Boucher mumbles a lot and enjoys distributing H20. Removed from his waterboy position, Boucher goes to another more footbally inept school. Once Boucher's repressed anger surfaces on the football field--and occasionally the classroom--Boucher quickly becomes an All-American linebacker and takes his team to the next level. Not quite crude enough to be a Farrelly brother comedy or smart-ass enough to be considered witty, The Waterboy turned out to be Sandler's weakest effort to date. Proof that people hitting each other isn't always funny.
