Here Comes the Boom 2012

Here Comes the Boom     Scott Voss was a wrestler in college, now at 42, he teaches biology at Wilkinson High School.  Scott doesn’t get along very well with the principal and he strongly objects when he hears the music program will be eliminated.  His friend Marty, the school music teacher, will be out of a job when this program is closed.  The reason is lack of funding and it will take $48,000 to keep the program going. 
     Adam Sandler is the executive producer of this film and that tells you a lot about the movie.  It’s over the top in violence with Kevin James as an almost full-time punching bag.  His reasons for fighting are good but this is not a funny movie.  3* (This movie is OK)
105 min, Comedy directed by Frank Coraci with Kevin James,  Salma Hayek, Henry Winkler, Greg Germann, Bas Rutten, Mookie Barker, Joe Rogan.
Note:  Blockbuster 3 ½*, imdb 6.4 out of 10, 39% critic 68% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
