My Comments: 04/10/2023 at our place in Niagara with NS. Watched on Netflix. Heartwarming and inspirational, endearing cast. Kevin James has said that he wanted to create an inspirational movie and even to portray someone who has Christ-like qualities. His faith in God is evident in how he co-wrote and produced this film. “I am involved in my faith,” he told Catholic News Service after the launch of the film. “You have a platform and you don’t want to do anything that doesn’t glorify God in every way,” James told them. He went on to say, “I was born and raised Catholic and absolutely love my faith and learn more and more about it all the time. It’s nice to have that going into whatever you do, whatever part of life you take upon yourself.”
MovieGuide.org: “HERE COMES THE BOOM has a Christian worldview where the characters read scripture, pray and sacrifice themselves for others. Kevin James’ character has a complete transformation once he sacrifices himself to save the music department… It does have fighting due to the story line, so some caution is advised.”
My assessment: Excellent movie. 4 1/2 star enjoyment rating.
