More on that dang Adam Sandler flick, this time from the mighty Nick Fury...
Hi, Harry, Nick Fury here. I was falling asleep at the controls of the SHEILD helicarrier when Dum Dum Dungan slapped me awake to read news about the WATERBOY on your page. I got scooped, so here's my "me-too" two bits.
FYI, I have yet to pay to see a Sandler movie, and I thought it was damn funny:
Everything your ace spy reported is true (storyline-wise) as Sandler plays BOBBY BOUCHER, a waterboy pushed too far. He's fired from his job by his coach (Boucher is very anal retentive about water quality, and uses all of his tiny intellect to ensure that there's a perfect balance of nutrients in every cup) and replaced by some cute wanna-be cheerleaders instead.
He's crushed and goes home to MAMA--while Boucher is about 30, he still lives at home with his mother, (Kathy Bates' character), who is a shrieking banshee, a total freak who doesn't like him talking to girls and wants him totally dependent on her. She insults him constantly. With Bates playing this part, the comedy is going to be great... She's a total Louisiana hick, and they live in a swamp shack.
Bouncing back, he looks for more work as a waterboy, and is turned down by everyone but a team that has lost every game for the past four years. When even these losers start to pick on Boucher, he flips out and goes crazy. The coach of the team, which hired him to be a waterboy, figures out that he's an unstoppable juggernaut of mean, and Boucher becomes the running back, leading the team to lots of victories. He's a little monster, stomping his way through the rival defenses.
That's all. The rest of the script isn't too tough or challenging to see from here. Suffice it to say, it looks like Sandler's got another cool character to play, and some fun schticks to do. Not genius, but probably pretty damn funny. Till next time...
