Movies: Here Comes the Boom
I may be in the minority in this group, but I like Kevin James's movies. I always find them funny and good-hearted, and this new one is no exception. Sure, the plot is contrived and pretty silly. He plays a burned-out high school biology teacher who decides to become a UFC fighter so he can make enough money to save his school's music program, which is led by Henry Winkler (yep, the Fonz his own self). I watched it with a couple of teachers, and they cracked up again and again at the school scenes. I thought it was pretty funny, too. Oh, and did I mention that the movie has Salma Hayek in it? That's enough reason to watch right there, as far as I'm concerned.

We still laugh at KING OF QUEENS.
We enjoyed THE KING OF QUEENS, too. Jerry Stiller is always a hoot. I liked the fact that Lou Ferrigno lived next door to them, too. Like Robert Goulet used to show up as himself on TWO GUYS, A GIRL, AND A PIZZA PLACE (a series that launched nice careers for three of its four principals).
I agree: Salma Hayek is reason enough to watch, all by herself.
I like Kevin James' movies too, especially HITCH. I think his bit parts in EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND landed him the main part in KING OF QUEENS.
The woman in KoQ is a member of that cult I love so much, so I avoid it. Too bad, because I sort of like Kevin James and definitely like Jerry Stiller.
As a retired school teacher I often find humor in this type of story as well. Might have to take a look.
