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.

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 ...

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.

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