Time: 105 minutes
Scott Voss is a disillusioned biology teacher at Wilkinson High School. When he finds out that budget cuts at the school mean the end of the music program and the loss of a job for his friend Marty Streb, the 42-year-old man, who used wrestle in college, decides to turn to Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), figuring that, even he loses a few fights, he’ll manage to raise the money needed to save the school’s music program.
If you put aside the total lack of believability of the story of this film, you can manage to be entertained. Kevin James, who co-wrote the screenplay, does a good acting job here. You forget the actor and believe the character, though, in real life, he would never stand a chance in MMA. Henry Winkler and Bas Rutten were also very good. As for Salma Hayek, talented and so gorgeous.
This comedy has good heart and a certain sweetness to it. There is a good dose of toilet humor also, that kind of clashes with the rest. Overall, a decent offering.
