Give the film a try. It'll win you over before the credits roll.

"Here Comes The Boom isn't the best movie in the world (Creed and Creed II will get you beatings and a great story) but it's sentimental, gripping and funny."

| Mar 19, 2021

I have no qualms about saying that anyone who appreciates Kevin James will unquestionably appreciate Here Comes the Boom.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 10, 2020

The formulaic fight movie is boosted by the built-in energy of UFC events and the rock soundtrack... By the time the last fight starts the audience is totally invested, cringing with every blow and cheering each successful punch.

The way James, Rutten, and Winkler connect is engaging and amusing, and Here Comes the Boom is moderately successful on that chemistry alone. And if something can crack my cold, cold heart, that's a victory.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 9, 2017

All in all, it's great family fun.

| Oct 9, 2016

In this tacky "Stand And Deliver" meets "Rocky" hybrid, logic isn't even a word, let alone a concern of the filmmakers.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 12, 2016

Ultimately, the film is much too derivative to stand (and deliver) on its own, but at its best moments, it proves amiably average, chiefly due to James' natural charms.

| Dec 15, 2013

It isn't nearly as funny or inspiring as it wants to be, but it makes a legitimate effort.

| Jul 20, 2013

A lightweight action-comedy that only tries to entertain, but at least it meets that modest goal. And it knocks out lighter weight comedies like The School of Rock.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 2, 2013

The highly likeable Kevin James headlines a highly likeable school/sports comedy lark in which he again plays a lovable oaf.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 7, 2012

The 'Mr. Holland's Opus' meets 'Rocky II' story will satisfy some who long for innocuous content, even those who know James deserves better material.

| Original Score: C | Nov 26, 2012

An average made-for-온라인카지노추천-type movie that makes its way onto the big screen, 'Here Comes the Boom' doesn't pack much of a punch.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 20, 2012

Now, then. When is Stallone going to start playing a head teacher? Maybe the switch would work the other way...

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 16, 2012

105 painful minutes of a fat guy getting punched in the face and falling down.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 15, 2012

Merely the kind of film that once it's on DVD will end up as necessarily mindless fodder for bench-pressing numbskulls to watch in a gym.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 14, 2012

The film aims to be simultaneously a coarse sentimental little-guy comedy, a tale of embracing the American dream, and an increasingly serious underdog fight movie on the lines of Rocky. It fails on all three counts.

| Nov 12, 2012

Couldn't Kevin have raised the money by selling hard drugs or trafficking underage women? The closing scenes would, under those circumstances, have seemed only marginally less peculiar.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 9, 2012

There's nothing here that you haven't seen a dozen times before and done much better.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 9, 2012

I went in with rock-bottom expectations and came out pleasantly surprised. It isn't completely awful.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 8, 2012
