About this movie

America's favorite wild and zany funnyman, Adam Sandler, scores big laughs in a smash comedy hit where the laughs never run dry! Just an oddball mama's boy from the back bayous of Louisiana, Bobby Boucher (Sandler) never wanted anything more than to quench the thirst of the dehydrated athletes who treat him like dirt! But when Coach Klein makes the call that allows Bobby to finally stand up for himself, it unleashes a torrent of bottled-up frustration...and exposes a talent for tackling that transforms him from a meek "water distribution engineer" to the hardest hitter ever to roam the gridiron! Also featuring award-winning Kathy Bates and sexy Fairuza Balk in a hilarious cast of stars -- here's your chance to join the millions everywhere who've proudly stood and cheered for The Waterboy!

Ratings and reviews

This is my High School's favorite film!! John Jay in East Fishkill, New York, where I graduated from last year. What an important film this is, and a good funny festival of a film.

Absolutely hilarious. One of Adam Sandler's best. Saw it in theaters and I still laugh just as hard all these years later. Kathy Bates, Henry Winkler, Fairuza Balk, and Sandler's regular friends are fantastic and make this a gem of a film.

THE SINGLE BEST MOVIE EVER... So inspirational if you are ever in the state of mind where you think you cant do something remember... you can do it!!! This movie tought me that alligators are so onry because they got all them teeth and not a tooth brush.
