31-year-old waterboy, Bobby Boucher (Adam Sandler) is constantly tormented by the team he works for until he is fired by the coach. He then finds a new coach to work for.

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1712 movies items)

" Critics may not care about Adam Sandler his films, but his fans certainly do. Essentially, the movie is pretty much the same as Billy Madison and Happy Madison, but it didn’t matter to his fans. It’s not that bad of a movie, and the film has it’s moments."
