What's it about?
Former collegiate wrestler Scott Voss is a 42-year-old apathetic biology teacher in a failing high school.
When cutbacks threaten to cancel the music program and lay off the music teacher, Scott begins to raise money by moonlighting as a mixed martial arts fighter.
Everyone thinks Scott is crazy - most of all the school nurse, Bella - but, in his quest, Scott gains something he never expected as he becomes a sensation, rallying the entire school
What the critics said:
"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."
- Lou Lumenick, New York Post
"Here Comes the Boom telegraphs every punch in its arsenal, but when the comedy connects, it can deliver with funny force."
- Scott Bowles, USA Today
"Here Comes the Boom is enjoyable - or, at the very least, not torture like Grown Ups ..."
