Watch Here Comes the Boom For Free

Overrated and overhyped

Memorable, crazy movie

Excellent adaptation.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Here Comes the Boom is a sloppy movie with too many bad jokes and not many good ones in return. I don't like Kevin James and this shows why, his acting was awful and only three actors where fine and because he had state in wrestling is stupid, but the band teacher was greatly acted and some what enjoyable.

If you want a funny and entertaining movies with some good characters and good moments, you could certainly do a lot worse. This is a classic rags-to-riches sports movie that follows a fairly common formula of an underdog rising up to take on a big challenge. However, unlike many other sports movies, we are not meant to like the main character from the beginning. Kevin James' character is shown right away as an example of everything that is wrong with being an uncaring educator. He then realizes the err of his ways and tries to find redemption, and that is when the story takes off.The premise of him fighting to raise money for a noble cause is great. But you really need to suspend reality for the story to make any sense at all. First of all, schools do not accept donations for pay for a single teacher's salary. And if they did, that means Kevin James needs to keep donating his fighting profits for the rest of Henry Winkler's career to really make a different. And it is not just Winkler's job that is about to be axed, it is the entire music program. So just raising money for one man's job will be a drop in the bucket.Another ridiculous part of the movie is when Joe Rogan (playing himself) has the whole band flown out to play a one-minute song for the match. Hey Joe, this is a financially strapped school about to lose its music program. If you want to make a difference, don't fly out every member for a tiny performance. Donate that money to the school! Maybe I am a cynic, but that really bothered me.While those parts of the movie were ridiculous, the overall experience really is quite good. Obviously your expectations coming into this movie would be to just enjoy yourself and have some laughs for 90 minutes. In that respect, this movie delivers.

Here Comes the Boom (2012): Dir: Frank Coraci / Cast: Kevin James, Salma Hayek, Henry Winkler, Bas Rutten, Gary Valentine: U.F.C inspired comedy about challenge. Kevin James plays a Biology teacher who takes up mixed martial arts fighting in order to save a friend's job in the music department as well as create needed funds for the school. This is all very well until it becomes repetitious with an ending that will either have you cheering or completely numb by the fact that it was so obvious. Director Frank Coraci will no doubt inspire some viewers with its message of never giving up but this theme seems numb within all the conventions. A target audience will be difficult, unlike another Coraci comedy, The Wedding Singer, which also pitted its hero against great odds, yet it played up great 1980's nostalgia for viewers of that period. James seems to be having fun as the teacher, tired of his job until finding a place for which he can contribute more successfully. He is involved in several fights, well staged with a lot of action. The romantic subplot is useless with Salma Hayek as a fellow teacher whom James is smitten. There is good supporting work by Henry Winkler as a passionate music teacher whose 48 year old wife is pregnant. Bas Rutten has a nifty role as a fitness trainer who attends a class that James teaches in the evenings regarding becoming an American citizen. Some may like the message while others will not likely feel the boom and cast it off as another misfire comedy out to poke fun of a sport that is more entertaining than it is. Score: 5 ½ / 10

This movie is a wonderful example of how Hollywood can do a movie that promotes the love of God and the family. Also they don't have to use sex to try to sell tickets. Summery , I loved this movie for the powerful message and clean content. Great job again Mr.Sandler! Please keep up the great job of funny movies that express your belief in marriage and faith. Jack and Jill was another movie that was funny but not dirty. Here Comes the Boom, Jack and Jill, Zookeeper all great movies without being gross or crude.The cast as always wonderful, I like how they use the same actors and actresses in order to keep the chemistry alive,along with little know and new actors who really add to the excitement. The kids in Here comes the Boom were great too.
