Here Comes the blah

Here Comes the Boom (2012)

Directed by Frank Coraci this film stars Kevin James, Henry Winkler, Salma Hayek and Bas Rutten. A high school teacher becomes a mixed martial arts fighter to raise money to save the school's music program.

The plot of this film is pretty much as you would expect and is very much a clone of many similar films out there. There is the odd laugh here and there but otherwise the film could have really done with an injection of a bit more humour. In general terms the film is pretty well made even if it is fairly bland, the main disappointment being Salma Hayek getting stuck with a role that has basically nothing to do but wait to be impressed by the protagonist.

3/5
