Review of Here Comes the Boom (2012) by Dylan D — 08 Sep 2013
No doubt about it, there are some generic themes at work in Here Comes the Boom, but they're also wholesome and timeless themes. Certainly, the movie is pretty far fetched (OK, a lot far fetched), but it's nevertheless an example of good, honest storytelling that champions selflessness, friendship, and dedication to a task.
The movie is well-made, perfectly cast, and faultlessly acted. Henry Winkler is particularly great as the job-on-the-line music teacher, and Kevin James handles quadruple duty very well, capturing the necessary drama, humor, tenderness, and action all with equal aplomb.
This is one of the 2012's best little secrets, a movie that's not to be missed, a crowd-pleaser, a film suitable for most of the family.
