HERE COMES THE BOOM

RYAN: This is just one of the dumbest movies of the year.  I literally was thinking, whilst watching, that I want to stick a pin in my eye. 

KIM: [laughs’ I didn’t think it was quite that bad.

RYAN: It was just so boring and predictable and typical, corny, Adam Sandler humor.  If you like vomit and food fight jokes, then this is for you.  But if you have any real sense of humor, or if you’re over the age of 14, this movie won’t do it for you.

KIM: Thankfully that humor was only a small part of the movie.  It is beyond predictable.  And if you’re looking for a safe movie, this is the one to see. 

RYAN: But who’s in the mood for that?

KIM: I think you’re right.

RYAN: I did appreciate the sentimentality and message, you know, arts education in schools…

KIM: I know what you mean.  It had a lot of heart.  It was cheesy-cute.  You rooted for Kevin James because…

RYAN: You’re sitting in the movie!  What else can you do?

KIM: [laughs’ I think we were laughing just at everyone else who was LOLing in the audience.  I couldn’t believe some people actually laughed in this.  Though some parts were worth a little chuckle.

RYAN: I think the only people who were laughing in this movie were people who haven’t been to a movie theater in a couple years.

KIM: Ha. But Kevin James impressed me.  He obviously worked hard for this movie.  I was impressed by his physique, for him at least.

RYAN: Well he’s still fat.

KIM: Hey hey… Let’s say he’s husky.

RYAN: Tomato, tomahto.  Here’s the thing – I’m all for the suspension of disbelief.  I see movies every week that are implausible and yet I willingly go along for the ride.  But there wasn’t one moment in this movie where I believed in anything.  This was just ridiculous.

KIM: Yeah I wouldn’t ever believe that Kevin would become a UFC fighter and go up against guys like that but I give him props for training hard and trying. 

RYAN: I liked the ending, in spite of the movie.

KIM: And Salma Hayek is one fine looking lady.

RYAN: She is beautiful and she’s fine in this, given what she had to work with. 

— BOTTOM LINE —

KIM: Maybe if you wanna catch it on cable one day, it’s fine, mindless and predictable with a lot of heart – if you have nothing better to do.

RYAN: Or just take a nap.

KIM: [laughs’]

RYAN: I was bored.  If I didn’t have to review it, I’d have walked out of this movie.  If you wanna see a good fight movie, just rent Rocky.
