Adam Sandler vaulted into the US$20-million-salary stratosphere with this, his second US$100-million hit in 1998--a movie that further shows just how deeply embedded he is in the Jerry Lewis tradition of idiot comedy. He plays Bobby Boucher, a backwoods Cajun and a mentally challenged individual with a fixation on water: specifically, on serving the coolest, most refreshing H2O available to the college football team he has served since he was an adolescent. But when he's fired from his position, he takes up a similar job with a lowlier college team coached by neurotic Henry Winkler. One day at practice, Bobby loses his temper and delivers a bone-shaking tackle to the starting quarterback; before he can say, "blackened crawdads", he's the star of the team and leading it to a bowl game. But it's all against the wishes of his overprotective mother (Kathy Bates), who wants to keep her Bobby to herself--and that includes keeping him away from the floozy girlfriend (Fairuza Balk) who's sweet on him. There are two kinds of people in this world: People who find Sandler funny and people who view him as a neon-lit symbol of the decline of popular taste. You know who you are and, based on that, you can decide whether this is a movie for you. --Marshall Fine

I LOVE this film!!! I think Adam is a top actor and he plays the character so well! My family laughed the whole way through it and were doing constant impressions for a good 2 weeks 'But Momma said....'
I would recommend this film to anyone who wants a bit of comedy back in their lives, very light-hearted and a generally good film.
You MUST watch this film!
Only worth watcing once never again

Simplistic dull rip off of Forest Gump which was a much better film.
One or two small laffs but cliches abound, would recommend film to people wanting a quiet night in after a root canal job as the boredom may help ease discomfort.
Now that's what i call a high quality laugh!

Such a great film by Mr. Sandler.
[...]This film had me laughing from start to finish!
Way better than Big Daddy and Mr.Deads...almost as great as Happy Gilmore.
Brilliant. Buy buy buy!
Crap

Why did Adam Sandler, an accomplished internationally known actor of incredible talent take up the role in this useless,meaningless waste of a film. The film itself, being a total 100% rip off Forrest Gump, contains pathetic one liners and cringeworthy 'jokes' and the scenes between Him and his mother, well lets not go there. My opinion, leave this hack-o-crap on the shelf and choose something way better e.g forrest Gump
