The Water Boy on Blu-Ray is a little disappointing. The transfers and the sound make the movie look better than ever but the bonus features and even the menu work are disappointing.

The movie itself is a classic. Adam Sandler was at his peak during this stage of his career and Bobby Boucher was a hilarious character. This movie had a rewatchability factor of 10 still when it’s on cable and watching it on Blu-Ray over and over when you want to watch a movie isn’t a bad choice at all.

The picture on this Blu-Ray is outstanding. The lenses that they used to film this movie have always been something I’ve admired. Everything was bright and vibrant more than any football movie I’ve ever seen- this movie still looks the best. On Blu-Ray it looks better. The sound is also outstanding offering up 5.1 DTS-HD for you to listen and watch in hi-def glory.

What’s disappointing about this particular Blu-Ray are the lack of bonus features… uhhhh…. There aren’t any. The original DVD didn’t really come with any either but one would have hoped for a repackaging with some interviews and stuff. Or at least a new commentary. The bonus features are non extent on this disc and that sucks.

If you’re a huge Adam Sandler fan The Water Boy is one of your favorite films. It was probably one of his peak movies after he had so much success with Happy Gilmore and Billy Madision. It was a hilarious football movie that looked good and can still be watched over and over. The lack of bonus features on this disc is disappointing, but the movie itself is worth looking into. Especially if this is in a bargain rack of some kind.
