Here Comes The Boom

Have you ever felt so strongly about someone or something that you would literally fight about it? That is what the movie Here Comes The Boom starring Kevin James and Bas Rutten is really all about. In the movie, the school that Mr. Voss (James) teaches at is facing cuts that could impact the job of  Marty (Henry Winkler), the music teacher. Mr. Voss chooses to fight in the MMA ring to raise money to protect his friend's job.

It is not often that movie stars happen into a hotel in Denver. I was able to sit down and ask them some questions about the film. Yes, that really is Kevin James and Bas Rutten I am standing between!

I took a couple young friends with me to the movie, so I could get their take on the movie and they could give me questions to ask.

I was a little concerned about the MMA violence for my young friends. They assured me that it was not "too much" and they enjoyed the movie and the action very much.

Yes, James trained as an MMA participant.
Yes, Ruttan really talks like that (no fake accent). No, James wasn't in band or played an instrument.
Yes, Ruttan is superstitious - he used to always fight with his rubber ducky nearby.

Honestly, this movie just feels good in reminding us all to fight for something  and help fellow mankind. I was a little sad that my kids were with their dad on the day that I went to see the movie, but I'm pretty sure we will need to see this one again. It Opens in theaters this Friday, October 12.
