REVIEW - Here Comes The Boom

Not a film I'd like to brag about seeing, but when you're sat in an uncomfortable Delta Airlines seat for five and a half hours, you have to find whatever diversions exist, and this one was a film I'd downloaded to watch on my iPad.

I'm sure you've all seen the "hilarious" trailers: school music program faces cuts thanks to a lack of funding, so the normally lazy biology teacher (Kevin James) decides to rekindle his high school wrestling skills and enter a 10-fight series of mixed martial arts bouts in an attempt to win the $50,000 needed to save the program.

His honorable intentions, buoyed on by his thus far failed attempts to win over the heart of school nurse Selma Hayek - what school, on what planet, ever had a nurse that looked like Selma Hayek? - meet the highs and lows that can be easily predicted from a Kevin James film.

Better than having needles inserted into my eyeballs by a miserable seventy year old flight attendant with a lousy job, but only just.
