Review of Here Comes the Boom (2012) by Caesar B — 19 Jul 2013

Kevin James and Bas Rutten really shine in this movie, but man, is this ever a crapfest. The main problem is that it doesn't know if it's a drama or a comedy and therefore it fails either way. The drama is really generic and the comedy is just not funny, I lolled just once.

The story is like a combination of 'Real Steel' and 'School Of Rock', but without any of the charm. Even though James kinda pulls off the whole action man thing, there are no more than two scenes that are worth looking at action wise including the finale. It's just not enough to give it anywhere near to a good rating which is a shame, because I really thought all the actors were really likeable.
