The Waterboy Film review
Film: The Waterboy
Director: Frank Coraci
Rating: PG
Duration: 87mins
Stars: The film stars, Adam Sandler (Bobby Boucher) and Kathy Bates (Mrs. Boucher)
Rating: I personally rate this film 5/5
The Waterboy is a comedy about Bobby Boucher who is a mentally handicapped person, obsessed with water. He lives with his mum who educates him on everything, even though her opinions are mostly wrong. She is overprotective of him and won’t let him socialise with anyone. Bobby gets fired from his position as waterboy in a major college football team and takes up a position in a much poorer college football team. One day the quarterback pushes him too far and he tackles him. From then on he is the star of his team and leads them to the bourbon bowl. This film is one of the funniest I have seen in a long time. It satirises typical American football movies where the quarterback is the star. Bobby has really has no idea about the tactics and rules of football but because of his sheer anger which he derives from all the people who are mean to him over the years he is able to produce spine crunching tackles, he calls it “tackling fuel”. This is must watch film.

Super review that reflects your enthusiasm for the film and awarness of filmic conventions.
Love the line "it satirises typical American football movies" which makes you sound like you 've just finished your PHD on the topic.Well Done.
