Then again, if you think back to "Paul Blart" and "Hitched," James fell for the drop-dead gorgeous women in those movies, too. Salma Hayek is an interesting choice for a love interest. The scenes where James trains with Rutten (a real-life retired MMA star) are funny, too.
I particularly liked the interaction between James' worn-out science teacher and Winkler's goody two-shoes music teacher.

"Here Comes the Boom" is really just a fun little movie with a few laugh out loud moments. As you might imagine, it all comes down to that "big fight" at the end, and well, you can probably guess how it goes.
#Cast of here comes the boom how to
There's some of that, but he actually does learn how to fight, and he turns into a darn good fighter. What's interesting about this role is that it's not the usual Kevin James slapstick comedy type role. citizenship class, Scott gets down to the business of getting in shape and learning how to fight.
With the help of a personal trainer (Bas Rutten) in his U.S. Never mind that the only experience he has is a bit of wrestling in high school. So after some brainstorming, Scott decides that he'll raise the $48,000 needed to help the school by fighting in Mixed Martial Arts competitions. I guess even though he cares nothing about teaching his own class, when he sees how passionate music teacher Marty Streb (Henry Winkler) is, something switches in his brain. James plays Scott Voss, a burned-out high school biology teacher who gets to class late (climbing in the window to avoid the principal, played by Greg Germann), reads the newspaper in class to avoid teaching anything of real value, and goes off on a vending machine when it fails to deliver his snacks.īut he's a likeable guy, and when he learns that his school is in dire financial trouble and will have to cut extracurricular programs like music, he decides to step up and do something about it. So if a movie has Kevin James in it, I'm willing to give it a chance, even if the premise is a little far-fetched, as is the case with "Here Comes the Boom." This movie might not be one that I'll remember down the line, but it had some funny moments as I was watching it. REVIEW: We've always liked Kevin James in this household, from his blue-collar delivery man on "The King of Queens" to his lovelorn guy in "Hitch" to his Segway-riding nerd in "Paul Blart: Mall Cop." That's one of our favorite family movies ever.
And even though it's rated PG, the fight scenes are pretty intense for kids younger than ten. Will Parents Like It? There are a few laugh out loud moments, but you probably won't remember much about this movie in a week or two. Which Kids Will Like It? Kids 10 and older who like Kevin James' brand of comedy or movies with Mixed Martial Arts fighting. Profanity: A few uses of "hell," "ass," "crap" and "oh my God," as well as insults like "stupid," "loser," and "sucks." These scenes include fighters being punched, kicked, bruised and injured, sometimes with blood. Violence/Gore: The mixed martial arts fights are pretty brutal for a PG-rated movie. Sex/Nudity: A biology teacher flirts nonstop with a sexy school nurse, who wears a couple of tops that reveal a bit of cleavage. SYNOPSIS: Kevin James plays a burned-out high school biology teacher who becomes a Mixed Martial Arts fighter in an effort to raise money to prevent extra-curricular activities from being axed at his cash-strapped school. MPAA Rating: PG for bouts of MMA sports violence, some rude humor and languageĬast: Kevin James, Salma Hayek, Henry Winkler, Greg Germann, Gary Valentine
