Here Comes the Boom - 2012 **


This is such a stereotypical American movie. A bit like 'School of Rock' but even worse and barely funny at all. Kevin James seems to know only one character, that of the bumbling, useless joke of a guy who messes everything up but deep down has a good heart. It's not an awfully becoming trait, especially for this actor, but he seems to display it down to a fine art here. Because of school cut-backs and low funds, certain areas of the establishment are having to be cut. This includes the music programme which many of the students are a part of. James decides to help the music teacher raise the money by becoming a wrestler so that he will walk away with money regardless of whether he wins or loses. Unfortunately it appears that losing is his middle name. It's not a brilliant film, and I wouldn't feel I had missed out if I hadn't watched it. Bit boring and a bit of a waste of time.
