Charlie Goose

Kevin James as a teacher determined to raise money for his school by participating in MMA fights. Love interest is Salma Hayek. Directed by Frank Coraci who did Zookeeper and a few Adam Sandler flicks.

Rex Power Colt-Robot Man

Based off those credentials...this should end well.

Hazel Motes

Sandler must really like his Chris Farley replacement.

^ Looks like someone from the studio found his way on this forum.

Looks like an unfunny comedy that's trying to send a message through many standard Hollywood cliches.

Didn't look as offensive as I was expecting although I still have zero interest in seeing it. Although I have the feeling it'll be a hit.

Salma Hayek

I like Kevin James (Paul Blart was good once you got passed the awefull setup before the actual heist occured) so I'll check it out. But probably as a rental.

Draven

You know, that looks better than I thought it would. I'd rent it.

Seems a bit early in the year to release Oscar-bait.

Charlie Goose

I think the school parts look pretty funny, but the MMA scenes look dreadful.

dsa_shea

Fixed it for you for added drool. I can't believe that she married a French wanker.

Why So Blu?

Hey, that's a BILLIONAIRE French wanker to you, mate.


She knew exactly what she was doing.

dsa_shea

I know but that makes it even more sad. I guess in the end she is just another one of those types.

Timber

I like Kevin James but he needs to get back on TV because these aweful movies are killing any interest in him I had from KoQ.

Why So Blu?

Nah, she's ALWAYS been rich. That's one preconceived notion that some have about her. "Hey, she's Mexican, so she must have grown up poor before making it big." Far from it.

The billionaire bit is just to assure her kid's legacy, with a bit of her own, too. It's more of a vanity play.

....if you believe this movie has a good social message. you must really believe that some other films that don't have a literal message..have a message.

now I'm not saying this is shitty, I don't know that. It doesn't look as bad as I thought it would be but...I think this film's prime intent is to make money and be as funny as it can be to the lowest common denominator. is that that bad? Kind of. Financially? Fucking genius.

Columbia should use FilmDrunk's title: Paul Blart Presents: Mixed Martial Farts.

Saw the trailer tonight. I'm sympathetic to the message but will probably never see this.

SuckaMC

Ya know, that doesn't look too bad. Won't plan a theater trip around it, but will see thus eventually.

DRG

The trailer wasn't as awful as I was expecting. Certainly looks more watchable than Zookeeper, or Sandler's recent output for that matter.

Goat3001

I like Kevin James and I want to like the movies he makes but it's tough. This one doesn't look too awful though. I'll wait for it to hit HBO on Demand.

Troy Stiffler

I like how energetic and loveable Coraci's comedies are. Not many other comedy director's can do that. They can always try to be funny. But Coraci's movies always have that fun energy in there.

That said, I don't get excited about these movies. But it's definately something I'll catch in the theater or on DVD.

bluetoast

Saw this for free at an advance show today. It was actually not bad.

Mike86

I actually sort of like Kevin James but this doesn't look that great to me. The stuff at the school looks like it could be funny but the overall concept of him training to be an MMA fighter just sounds dumb to me. I'll probably just wait until it's on one of the premium networks.
