    Our Comments: 06-10-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS, NS). A strange type of comedy/adventure. Subtle wit and non-mainstream quirky, humanistic humor. If you want to try something quite different, then this could be worth a watch. Enjoyment rating: 3.5 star

    TMDB: “Three American brothers who have not spoken to each other in a year set off on a train voyage across India with a plan to find themselves and bond with each other — to become brothers again like they used to be. Their “spiritual quest”, however, veers rapidly off-course (due to events involving over-the-counter pain killers, Indian cough syrup, and pepper spray).”

    Our Comments: √ 06-09-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS, NS?). One of the funniest movies out there! One blunder and mishap after another are carefully coreographed by Blake Edwards and masterfully executed by Peter Sellers. Very very funny. Enjoyment rating: 4 star

    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.

    TMDB: “A high school biology teacher moonlights as a mixed-martial arts fighter in an effort to raise money to save the school’s music program.”
