I was expecting lame and cheesy. This was cheesy but I really enjoyed it much more then I thought I would. I say A-

"I wasn't knocked out cold I was half-in half-out, although I did see a unicorn. I was riding it." High school teacher Scott Voss (James) has become disenchanted with the school system he is in. While he is at a meeting he is told that the school will be stopping the music program that is headed by his friend Marty (Winkler). Wanting to save his friends job Scott begins to fight in MMA matches in order to raise the money to save the program. I have to admit that I was not looking forward to this one. I really like Kevin James but the movie looked to cheesy for me to get into. I was very wrong. While the movie was cheesy it was the good kind and it made you feel good watching it for the entire time. The best way to describe this is that it is a mix between Rocky and Mr. Holland's Opus. Two movies I never thought would be connected but it worked. This is one of the best family movies that has come out in a while and is one of the most surprisingly good movies that I have seen in a long time. I highly recommend this. Overall, a great movie that every member of the family will enjoy. I give it an A-.
