A science teacher risks life and limb as a cage fighter in order to plug a budgetary shortfall at his high school in Frank Coraci's preposterous, testosterone-fuelled comedy. Here Comes The Boom initially sets out its stall as a broad comedy, replete with run-ins between the laidback hero, who has fallen out of love with the job, and a pernickety principal (Greg Germann), who doesn't tolerate tardiness. The script also contrives a romance between the teacher and a fiery school nurse (Salma Hayek), who has rejected countless overtures but softens as soon as she sees her paramour being pulverised for a good cause.
