Here Comes the Boom Ratings & Reviews
Newsday
Frank Lovece
Why doesn't most of this movie take place in a coma ward?
Washington Post
Sean O'Connell
For the most part, "Boom" lazily follows Adam Sandler's proven recipe for box-office success.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
A moderately enjoyable, nontaxing sort of comedy.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Here Comes the Boom" is so full of clichs from other, better movies that it is almost plays like a parody of an underdog tale.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Cage fighting is not inherently funny. In fact, it's the opposite of funny, something like cock fighting only with people, and this presents a problem the movie never completely overcomes.
USA Today
Scott Bowles
Here Comes the Boom telegraphs every punch in its arsenal, but when the comedy connects, it can deliver with funny force.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
The film works hard at its inoffensiveness. Throughout, jokes are left on the table, setups never pay off in any significant way.
Punch Drunk Critics
Roxana Hadadi
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.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
It's not offensive so much as it is dumb, although the emphasis on bone-cracking violence to solve your social-welfare problems sends, at best, a mixed message.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
Kevin James is so gosh-darned likable that he can make up for a lot of sub-par material, but not even he can make this tiresome effort work.
Film.com
Stephanie Zacharek
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.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
"Here Comes the Boom'' is low on raunch but even lower on laughs. It also looks like half the lighting crew failed to show up.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
Loud, incoherent and unfunny, "Here Comes the Boom" is the sound of American culture imploding.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
For a film dedicated to time-tested formula and clumsily cross-pollinating Rocky and Mr. Holland's Opus, Here Comes The Boom is hilariously convoluted and inefficient in its storytelling.
Boxoffice Magazine
Amy Nicholson
'Rocky' for fifth graders, with enough pro-school propaganda to make parents think it's worth the price of popcorn
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
Call it Waiting for Superman Punch.
Slant Magazine
Chris Cabin
As a comedy, Frank Coraci's film aims low and manages to miss the mark entirely.
Boston Globe
Janice Page
[It] delivers repeated blows - to the abdomen, to the head, and to the groin, but not often enough to the funny bone.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
"Here Comes the Boom" is all banality, though it delivers some goodwill even as it pulls a muscle trying to get its premise going.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
The film would have the same audience that came to see James get elbowed in the face also get weepy over disadvantaged schoolchildren.
