Review of Here Comes the Boom (2012) by Scott A — 03 May 2013
You know what, this movie is basically a riff on Rocky on with UFC instead of boxing, and you pretty much know how every single plot point will come down, but damn if I wasn't sucked into this film.
This whole idea of gutting the 'arts' for Sports actually happened in my High School in my final years, so it really did hit a mark and reminded me of the few teachers that helped those programs.
I think the world of Kevin James, and he's really good here. Could he really win in these kind of fights in the real world? No. Could he nab Salma Hayek? No. But it all just works. And you may just find yourself cheering for him to kick some butt in the end.
Winkler is also very good here.
