Things I Like: Bobby Boucher (The Waterboy)

Bobby Boucher The Waterboy 1998 movie Adam Sandler

Bobby Boucher is one of my favorite Adam Sandler characters and I don’t think I’m alone. This lovable idiot is almost impossible to hate, unless you’re some kind of cynical movie critic or something.

His love and passion for water were completely unreal. Admirable but very very strange. And apparently it stemmed from his mother telling him that his father died from not having enough water.

    Lovable idiot is a perfect description. We still quote this movie after all these years. It’s a classic.
