Predictable family fun

Rating: 7/10 (23 February 2013)

I believe that kids will really enjoy this movie, with the fun lines and the repeated fighting scenes it could easily be constant fun for them. As an adult, I thought it was a cute movie, but, Here Comes the Boom was so similar to every other "Got to come up with a ton of money to save the school, business, house..." type movie. Kevin James puts a fantastically lovable quality into this character but it's hard to believe someone in his physical shape could ever fight MMA and walk out of the ring without broken bones or at least a body completely covered with bruises. Salma Hayek, Henry Winkler and Gary Valentine also made you route for the music clubs success. All in all, I think it was filmed well, written well and played out well. Just maybe to similar to many others like it.
