Adam-Sandler Movie Reviews

"The Waterboy" stars Adam Sandler as Bobby Boucher, the twenty-something waterboy for the local college football team in his home state of Louisiana. Bobby is constantly harrassed by the team's players and its coach, Red Beaulieu (Jerry Reed). One day Bobby is tormented by one of the players and is fired by Coach Beaulieu for disrupting his team.

Bobby then finds employment as the waterboy for another college football team in the area. This team is coached by the mild mannered Coach Kline (Henry Winkler) who challenges Bobby to stand up for himself when the players on his team start to poke fun at him. Bobby snaps when the team's quarterback says something that brings up all the bad feelings he's ever had and Bobby proceeds to deck him with a vicious tackle. Thus starts Bobby Boucher's college football career.

To say that "The Waterboy" is an idiot comedy is like saying the Grand Canyon is a hole in the ground. This is idiot comedy taken to the extreme. About half of the movie works, like when Bobby drop kicks an opposing player for having said something about his momma. The other half, like the mumbling of Farmer Fran (Blake Clark), is just stupid.

Sandler's accent in this movie is not cajun or even southern, it's a cross between a five year old and someone with a severe stutter. It gets a little annoying after a while but certainly fits the role better than Sandler's own voice.

I almost gave this movie two stars for making me watch Kathy Bates in a horribly casted role as Bobby's scheming mother. She doesn't want him playing "no foosball" or messing with girls (they's the devil). Bobby of course does both by joining the college football team and hooking up with Vicki Vallencourt, played by Fairuza Balk.

I wouldn't recommend "The Waterboy" as the Adam Sandler movie to see if you are only going to see one of them. The one I recommend is "Happy Gilmore". Sadly though, this is Sandler's second best movie to date. That he manages to pull down $20 million per film is a testament to just how far our culture has fallen. Jerry Lewis's films used to be a nice diversion from the great blockbuster films like "Gone with the Wind" and "The Maltese Falcon". Now, in the person of Adam Sandler, Jerry Lewis is the blockbuster. Perhaps we have more in common with the French than we know.

While funny at times, this movie is only OK at best. Some of the characters are absolutley ridiculous such as Bobby's girlfriend Vicki Valencourt, a car stealing bandit who loves Bobby for what he is and Farmer Fran, the redneck assistant football coach. This movie depicts bumbling, intelligence challenged Bobby Boucher (Adam Sandler) and his life as waterboy for Louisiana University. But his life is dramatically changed when he is fired by the mean spirited coach for getting in the way. Bobby's understatedly overprotected mom is thrilled and thinks this is the best thing since sliced bread, but Bobby is devestated. He sets out to find a new waterboying job, and is accepted at small bayou school S.C.L.S.U. One day Bobby is made fun of and literally snaps, he runs at the assailant and decks him, this earns him a spot on the team, but he can't tell his mom because she will not allow him to play. As one can easily see, this movie has absolutley no plot or story line and is definitley not Adam Sandler at his best, that is Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore.

... This has to be one of my favorites from Sandler because it's a really funny movie plus there's a lot of football action and Sandler is hilarious in this movie.

Sandler is Bobby Boucher, a 31 year old still living with his mama waterboy. Boucher gets fired from the big league university he was waterboy for and is then forced to find a new waterboy position and he finds his way to SCLSU (South Central Louisiana State University) and the SCLSU Mud Dawgs football. As soon as he gets there, it's the same situation... the players are picking on him. His coach (Henry Winkler) then tells Bobby to fight back or they'll do it forever. So with his coach's advice, Bobby fights back and shows his teammates who's boss. Winkler being impressed with Bobby's tackling ability when he's mad uses that and makes him their new starting Linebacker.

Trutyhfully, Sandler stretched for this one because his character was unlike any of his orher characters. Sandler was funny in almost a DUmb and Dumber sense along with the on field comedy during the football games was also hilarious. I'd suggest this to anyone because it's a great movie for laughs and some good ole' football.

If you're looking for other roles where Sandler is more than just a regualr guy (like in Big Daddy), check out LITTLE NICKY because that one is also very funny and Sandler makes an acting stretch for that role as well. In any case, drink your Water and check out the Waterboy!

I want to say first that I am an Adam Sandler fan. I loved him on SNL, I have enjoyed him in everything from "Billy Madison" to "Punch-Drunk Love". So with that in mind, I had high hopes for "Eight Crazy Nights". To say it was a let down would be an understatement. This is one of the worst movies I have seen in recent memory.

The only thing remotely close funny is the old man named Whitey. He has a few lines that might warrant a slight chuckle. Sandler's Davey Stone character is so annoying, you will probably be tempted to turn off the movie within the first 10 minutes. If you don't, you'll be treated to jokes about hairy butts, a woman with three breasts, a man eating a jock strap and deer licking frozen feces. Sounds appealing, doesn't it?

I am sure some diehard Sandler fans think this is funny, but I don't. Hopefully his first animated movie will be his last.

I have loved adam sandler ever since I first heard the song "at a medium pace" and have seen every one of his movies except punch drunk love :( which I plan to see (even though everyone says i wont like it) this is his BEST WORK EVER!! Adam Sandler is Davey Stone, Whitey Duvall, Elanore Duvall (Whitey's fraternal twin sister), and the voices of all the deer in the movie. Davey stone is a 30 year old jewish man who can't stand the holidays and sings great songs about it! This movie has everything, a love story, a dramatical story, everything you could ever love about an adam sandler movie is here! so bring it on DVD QUICK!! :) btw as a tip, the comentary on the little nicky DVD is to DIE FOR!! check it out adam fans! thanks!

This is an excellent movie. I love it more than any other holiday movie I have seen. The songs are comical and although past reviews have said they ruin the movie I would say they make the movie more enjoyable. What holiday show/movie does not break out into song in the middle of it. Great holiday Sandler movie

Better than Little Nicky, far from Happy Gilmore, and on about the same level as The Waterboy, Mr. Deeds is decent, but not all that great. Adam Sandler plays Longfellow Deeds, a good man with a somewhat short temper, but ultimately mild mannered. When it is determined that he is the son of a recently deceased billionaire, he inherits the entire estate. The premise sounds good, and apparently it did before as it is based on the movie, "Mr. Deeds Goes To Town." That however doesn't help this movie. What does push it forward is some good acting, inventive characters, and a decent plot. Sandler has the ability to get more cameos into a movie than I thought physically possible. Al Sharpton, John MacEnroe (forgive the spelling), Rob Schneider, Kathy Bates, and others all wind up in this film and do an excellent job in supporting Sandler. Detracting seriously from the film though is Winnona Ryder. Why on Earth she is still an actress boggles my mind. She plays her part horribly and just sounds so atrocious. Her, and the dips in comedic action pull this film down 2 stars. Overall though it could be worse, given everything it's not that bad. It's an enjoyable film that can be viewed a few times without the effect wearing off.

I'm not going to compare this movie (tho loosely based) to the 1936 classic with Gary Cooper, "Mr. Deeds Goes To Town". Sure, the basic storyline is the same, but that's it. Cooper & Sander are totally different actors in totally different times. Cooper was a classic actor with a flair for some comedy, where Sandler is a comedian with a flair for some acting. "Deeds" did fairly well at the box office in 2002. Sandler proved there was life after his previous bomb, "Little Nicky". A great cast with Winona Ryder, Steve Buscemi, and John Turturro - stealing the show with his "sneaky" one liners and his incurable foot fetish. You'll recognize some supporting cast members from some of Sandler's previous flicks ("Wedding Singer, "Big Daddy", etc). Tho on the short side of today's movie standards (approx 90 minutes), this film is enjoyable on all levels. Sandler is more of the naive bumbling comedian here (remniscent of his role in "Wedding Singer"), rather than relying on gross humor geered toward the older adolescent male movie watchers. Included on this DVD are the standard feature length commentaries, outtakes & deleted scenes, and miscellanious featurettes. For those Sandler fans, I put this one behind the classics "The Wedding Singer" and "Happy Gilmore"... but well above "The Waterboy", "Big Daddy" and "Little Nicky".

I loved this movie! It is the perfect balance between comedy, romance and personal character. Adam Sandler plays a simple man who is caring, compassionate, honest & generous. Adam's character "Deeds" make other people feel comfortable around him, and he won't let others disrespect him or anyone else. He gives away 40 billion dollars, because it comes between him and finding love. Then live rewards him with both love and money. It is a true feel good, happily ever after movie. A must see!

Adam Sandler does a great job repackaging the same character from film to film. He is always the tender-hearted, mis-understood man with low self esteem who is ultimately rescued by the love an unlikely girlfriend. In this movie, however, good acting notwithstanding, comedy dies a thousand deaths.

Sandler plays Nicky, youngest son of the Devil. Lucifer, who retired as the Devil 10,000 years earlier, is played in short cameos by Rodney Dangerfield. The current Devil, played by Harvey Keitel, is the doting father of his 3 sons. Now that his 10,000 year reign as the current Prince of Darkness draws nigh, Nicky's older brothers, Cassius & Adrian, are vying for their dad's throne.

After a varied turn of events, Nicky (who suffers from a malformed face and a speech impetiment... among other things) must go to Earth on a mission to save his father from decomposing in Hell. Despite his demonic roots, Nicky is too kind-hearted to be too devlish, and is terribly out of his element on Earth, where he is misunderstood and always confused.

The film is star studded with professional athletes and with Sandler's former SNL cast-mates.

Stereotyped religious zealots, demonic possesions, belching fire and peeing acid... these are the many sight gags used through out that just don't seem to work. The special effects are good enough for a film of this calibre, but the whole story is just so perposterous. With this type of story, you're expected to suspend some facts from memory - but this film asks you suspend your cerebral cortex and your brain stem... only the medula oblongata has a chance of sitting through this dry tale.

The blasphemous occurances may have experienced some redemption if the film had actually been funny. As always, Sandler proves himself as an accomplished actor in any role - whether as a leading man or as a bafoon - but even his talents are not enough to ressurrect this from the bowels of movie hell.

This is not the worst film I've ever seen by a long shot - but it is still pretty stinking awful.

This is one of the worst movies you'll ever love. Adam Sandler plays his stock character, that loveable loser that gets the girl and finally makes good, but this time with a little different twist. Here, he's the "good" son of Satan, and he's on a mission to keep his other two brothers from deposing his beloved father and taking over hell. Replete with raunchy humor, great actors/cameos (Ozzy Osbourn, Rodney Dangerfield, Henry Winkler, Rob Schneider, Reese Witherspoon, Jon Lovitz, Quentin Tarentino), and the worst speech impediment you'll ever hear, "Little Nicky" should keep you laughing for most of the film. There are, of course, glaringly unfunny moments, but overall it is surprisingly entertaining. I put off watching this one for quite awhile because it just looked so awful, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Fans of Adam Sandler should love it, and those who appreciate some low-brow politically incorrect humor will find lots here to enjoy.

In the comedy LITTLE NICKY, Adam Sandler plays Nicky, a heavy metal rock fan who also happens to be the son of the devil. When it is announced that his father will not give up the throne and continue to rule hell for the next 10,000 years, Nicky's evil brothers go up to Earth to steal human souls and generally create hell on earth. Now, Nicky is charged with the task of bringing both of his brothers back to hell in order to restore the balance between good and evil all over the world and to save his father from rapidly decomposing. This movie is totally halarious with alot of perverted humor thrown in for good measure and it actually helps the story move along. Also includes cameo appearences by Rodney Dangerfield, Kevin Nealon, Reese Witherspoon, Jon Lovitz, Dana Carvey, and Ozzy Osbourne. The DVD edition of this film contains special features such as the theatrical trailer for the film, a behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of the film, an excellent documentary on heavy metal music, and a halarious commentary track.

i admit i refuse to see LITTLE NICKY back in 2000 when it played in theaters. i am not much of a fan of adam sandler though some of his sat.night live sketches were funny but his films like THE WATERBOY and MR.DEEDS: UGH! i didn't wanna see LITTLE NICKY; i didn't wanna hear that very screechy demented accent of his. so there was NICKY playing on TBS sunday night, saw it and then the chuckles came from me. i was laughing pretty much though harvey keitel's take on daddy satan was atrocious! i also digged the cameos from quentin tarantino, dan marino, henry winkler, rob schneider ('you can do iiiiiiiiiiit' from WATERBOY), ozzy doing his famous bat biting bit, carl weathers,the harlem globetrotters, bill walton, SNL alumni, etc. rob smigel as the voice of nicky's partner bulldog, beefy is hilarious (telling nicky to 'release his evil' on a roommate's can of coke; he changes the inside flavor to a pepsi--fun-ny). i laughed plenty to give this ***. a decent job by sandler.
