Here Comes The Boom Brings It - 100%

Rating: 9/10 (18 October 2012)

I've always enjoyed Kevin James because of his comedic talent but this movie shows he not only has humor but he has heart. And plenty of it. What a terrific feel good movie! Henry Winkler was wonderful – as was Salma Hayek and everyone else in this film, for that matter. In spite of the fact that, in a row ahead of me there was the unwelcome distraction of a half dozen empty-headed teenage girl who evidently didn't think they could live for an hour or so without their cell phones lit up like miner's lamps...until I shut them down with some choice words...the movie was one that got us caught up and kept us there until the very end. A good film for the whole family – finally. So many of these pictures leave a lot to be desired in that respect but this one didn't fail us. I'm not even a fight fan, but I was right in there for the fight scenes feeling each and every punch. By the end of the movie the audience (even the previously mention girls might have forgotten to fire up their phones for a few minutes, had I not already encouraged them in that direction) was totally engaged in the action. The Boom leaves little room for doubt, it's a good movie! I sure do recommend this one. You'll love it!
