Just an oddball mama's boy from the back bayous of Louisiana, Bobby Boucher (Sandler) never wanted anything more than to quench the thirst of the dehydrated athletes who treat him like dirt! But when Coach Klein (Winkler) makes the call that allows Bobby to finally stand up for himself, it unleashes a torrent of bottled-up frustration ... and exposes a talent for tackling that transforms him from a meek "water distribution engineer" into the hardest hitter ever to roam the gridiron! (official distributor synopsis)

This won't be the best Sandler film either. I don't like how he overacts here. He's capable of it, but it just doesn't fit his movies, at least not to such an extent. I prefer him in a more normal way of overacting only occasionally. Otherwise, the film is entertaining at times, although not necessarily because of Sandler, but rather because it's quite simple and straightforward.

Well, Sandler went way overboard on this one. An actor like him has no need to play retarded idiots whose job is to fetch water for another bunch of morons in the form of the local football team. The story is predictable from start to finish, desperately cheesy and unfunny on top. The 2 stars are mostly out of sympathy.
