Review For Here Comes the Boom
Weak humor and vanilla plotting have replaced legitimate drama, pathos, and character development. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune It's nice that the hero goes to the mat for what he believes in. But he's not the only thing that comes down with a thud. Stephanie Zacharek-Film.com It delivers exactly what's expected from a flabby mishmash of high school inspirational tale and Mixed Martial Arts fighting exhibitionism ladled out by Adam Sandler running mate Frank Coraci ... Linda Barnard-Toronto Star Here Comes the Boom will probably connect like a haymaker with most of its intended audience. The leads are likeable, and the plot, though beyond incredible, is at the very least distracting. Stephen Cole-Globe and Mail Why doesn't most of this movie take place in a coma ward? Frank Lovece-Newsday "Here Comes the Boom" is so full of clichés from other, better movies that it is almost plays like a parody of an underdog tale. Adam Graham-Detroit News The highly likeable Kevin James headlines a highly likeable school/sports comedy lark in which he again plays a lovable oaf. Jim Schembri-3AW 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. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) An average made-for-TV-type movie that makes its way onto the big screen, 'Here Comes the Boom' doesn't pack much of a punch. Linda Cook-KWQC-TV (Iowa) Now, then. When is Stallone going to start playing a head teacher? Maybe the switch would work the other way... Graham Young-Birmingham Mail 105 painful minutes of a fat guy getting punched in the face and falling down. Ken McIntyre-Total Film 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. Graham Young-Birmingham Post 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. Philip French-Observer [UK] 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. Donald Clarke-Irish Times There's nothing here that you haven't seen a dozen times before and done much better. Alex Zane-Sun Online I went in with rock-bottom expectations and came out pleasantly surprised. It isn't completely awful. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] The Wedding Singer's Frank Coraci retains an endearing fondness for funny-faced bit-parts, but it's fundamentally formulaic in construction and mediocre in execution. Mike McCahill-Guardian [UK] A fantasia of hackneyed conceits about education ... Antonia Quirke-Financial Times Every now and again a film comes along that could play as a parody of itself with minimal alteration, and 90 per cent of them seem to have some kind of connection to Adam Sandler. Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph Daft but hard to dislike ... Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express Surprisingly enjoyable, thanks to strong comic performances, likeable characters and direction that gets the tone exactly right. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon Unfortunately, the comedy is strictly from the undercard. Tim Evans-Sky Movies As an undemanding time-passer, Here Comes The Boom just about goes the distance. Eddie Harrison-The List There's hardly a serious message being made about the plight of America's education system here, which makes one wonder what the point of it is. Ed Gibbs-The National Kevin James stars in the feel good movie of the year. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com To paraphrase the quip that started the David Cross/Patton Oswalt feud, the script for Here Comes the Boom feels like something Vince Vaughn read and threw across the room -- where it promptly hit Kevin James in the head.
