Liked the film - would bring older grandkids to it

by Hatch7

It has been months since I went to a movie. I went under protest with my wife. I was not sure about how MMA or UFC would work with the PG rating (too many Van Dammes movies). However, the mix of MMA/UFC fights did not detract from the movie.

I was LOL from the beginning of the movie. The whole audience was also laughing with me. They were a mix of families, younger couples and baby-boomers like me.

The chemistry between all the characters contributed to my enjoying the movie and made the film's story line believable. I particularly enjoyed watching the interactions between Kevin James and Henry Winkler (always will be the Fonz for me). The message of funding extracurricular activities like music impact on kids came through.

I would take my older grandkids to this movie (8+).

Awesome Movie

by

This is such a great movie. It is really funny. I love Kevin James and it has a great story to it. This is the first movie I have seen in forever that has no sexual content in it which I think it great. It teaches a great story.

The Must See Movie of the Year!

by brianmed5

Once again Kevin James proves his comedic genius with the film, "Here Comes the Boom." The film overall was a laughing fest from beginning to end and didn't stop until the final credits rolled. Kevin James plays a former wrestler turned teacher who finds himself in a political joust between the schools hard lined principle who threatens to undercut the schools music elective. In an effort to save the class, his character decides to enter the dog eat dog realm of professional MMA. His character manages to climb the ranks after a tumultuous start with a few bruises and a dislocated shoulder. It's definitely a movie that packs a punch in terms of the laughing factor while weaving a moral tale that anything is possible.

Great Combination

by jsp519

This movie really surpassed our expectations and surprised us. Clean, humorous and a great message of how one person when they really become dedicated to a cause, can bring tremendous change.
Great job....bring your older children. The fighting scenes are too much for young kids. Loved it.

Surprisingly Good

by HB_TheMovieLover

This has to be the best Keven James movie yet! Hilarious, yet also had a really good message. There were quite a few laugh out loud moments and the fight scenes were very well done. I'm recommending this one to all my friends and to any one who just wants to go see an enjoyable movie.

Fun movie!

I took my 12 year old son and we had a great time...it's a funny & inspiring movie. Probably won't win any awards but still a fun night out.

Fun family flick

by jschroeder17

I am usually bored by the cliche inspirational sports movie. But this was truly entertaining; my kids and I loved this movie. It made me laugh and cry. Very fun film; I think it was Kevin James' best. And he got in shape for it!
The only down side for younger children was that the fighting violence was pretty intense; I was cringing...

Entertaining as expected

by tundal45

I am a sucker for these kinds of movies & I was sort of unsure how the movie was going to be when they started showing previews to ******* twilight but it was a decent entertaining movie, what you would expect. I am not surprised that the critics don't love it because it's fairly predictable but it provided good value, especially for a cheaper early show on a sunday morning.

Great Fun Movie

by Show Me Move Me Change Me

This was just what we needed to see after a hard ten days of life. Fun, predicable, but thoroughly enjoyable movie. The Boom is sweet natured, a bit too violent, but a laugh-out-loud, constantly movie, perfect escapist entertainment. Kevin is a fabulous physical comic and the Fonz a perfect sidekick.

Great family movie

by Wws100

What a pleasant surprise! A comedy with a great message! We took 6 kids, aged 7-16 and they all loved it! We love Kevin James and were pleased to see a clean movie with hilarious moments, but a very inspirational message to make it all the better! Go!
