The Waterboy Movie
Bobby Boucher (Adam Sandler) has been tied to his overprotective mother's (Kathy Bates) apron strings for thirty years. He works as a water boy for the local college football team, all players of which constantly make a mock of him. Boucher would always have remained in the shadow of the champions if he hadn't been unexpectedly fired from his job by Coach Red Beaulieu (Jerry Reed). He is forced to work for a rival college team, and his new coach, Klein (Henry Winkler), makes a surprising discovery that the water boy can run and tackle like no one he has ever seen. The wise coach signs him as a new player and Bobby soon becomes the best linebacker in the history of college football. But he has to keep his glory a secret from his overbearing mom as she disapproves of football.
