Why you can trust GamesRadar+
Here Comes The Boom is not the most idiotic movie of the year (hello, Battleship ).
It’s not even the most idiotic movie in Kevin James’ tawdry ‘canon’ (hello, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry ).
It is, however, still idiotic.
Taking its cues from every faux-inspirational ’80s B-movie ever, Boom is about a bumbling biology teacher (James), who seeks to save his school’s music programme and teacher (Henry Winkler) from government cutbacks by moonlighting as a mixed martial arts fighter.
Cue 105 painful minutes of a fat guy getting punched in the face and falling down.
