In this tacky "Stand And Deliver" meets "Rocky" hybrid, logic isn't even a word, let alone a concern of the filmmakers.

It's nice that the hero goes to the mat for what he believes in. But he's not the only thing that comes down with a thud.

"Here Comes the Boom" is so full of clichés from other, better movies that it is almost plays like a parody of an underdog tale.

Ultimately, the film is much too derivative to stand (and deliver) on its own, but at its best moments, it proves amiably average, chiefly due to James' natural charms.

The way James, Rutten, and Winkler connect is engaging and amusing, and Here Comes the Boom is moderately successful on that chemistry alone. And if something can crack my cold, cold heart, that's a victory.

Weak humor and vanilla plotting have replaced legitimate drama, pathos, and character development.

It delivers exactly what's expected from a flabby mishmash of high school inspirational tale and Mixed Martial Arts fighting exhibitionism ladled out by Adam Sandler running mate Frank Coraci ...

All in all, it's great family fun.

A lightweight action-comedy that only tries to entertain, but at least it meets that modest goal. And it knocks out lighter weight comedies like The School of Rock.

Why doesn't most of this movie take place in a coma ward?

It isn't nearly as funny or inspiring as it wants to be, but it makes a legitimate effort.

Here Comes the Boom will probably connect like a haymaker with most of its intended audience. The leads are likeable, and the plot, though beyond incredible, is at the very least distracting.
