Plot

Adam Sandler plays Bobby Boucher, a socially inept water boy with anger issues due to his mother's excessive sheltering. He was the waterboy for this team that he worked for, but the players tormentated him, and the coach fired him. So he went and found a new team to work for. The coach of the football team that he supplies water to, notices his anger problem and puts him on the field, with positive results. Despite his overprotective mother's disapproval, he secretly continues to play football. Here he uses his anger to tackle the opposing players by pretending they're making fun of him. Soon, he becomes one of the most feared linebackers in college football and love interest of Vicki Vallencourt, played by Fairuza Balk, all while leading the team to a title game. The movie was filmed on location in Orlando, Florida.
