Michael Phillips of the "Chicago Tribune" writes: "Once it gets going and commits to its time-worn inspirational formula, it's not half-bad." Neil Genzlinger of "The New York Times" wrote: "If you can choke down the implausible notion that the doughy Kevin James would last more than five seconds in a mixed martial arts ring, Here Comes the Boom is a moderately enjoyable, nontaxing sort of comedy."
