The Kidd here...
Anytime a new Kevin James movie comes together, it feels like an exercise in counting how many times a fat guy can fall down, get hit by something, get hit by someone, run into things, and have it still not be funny. Therefore, you can only imagine how much I was looking forward to checking out the trailer for HERE COMES THE BOOM, which sees Kevin James entering the UFC Octagon in order to help raise money for some kids.
And then something very strange happened... I didn't hate it. I mean, there's plenty of Kevin James getting his ass beat and engaging in overall stupid pratfall comedy that's become his crutch over the last few years, but there's something more to a movie like this. It plays like an inspiring sports film, and, for the first time, I actually found myself somewhat interested in checking out a Kevin James movie. What the hell is going on around here?
