Salma Hayek and Henry Winkler also star alongside Kevin James in a comedy written by James and his writing partner Allan Loeb. In HERE COMES THE BOOM, former collegiate wrestler Scott Voss (Kevin James) is a 42-year-old apathetic biology teacher in a failing high school. When cutbacks threaten to cancel the music program and lay off its teacher (Henry Winkler,) Scott begins to raise money by moonlighting as a mixed martial arts fighter. Bas Rutten helps Voss train for the ring. Everyone thinks Scott is crazy – most of all the school nurse, Bella (Salma Hayek) – but in his quest, Scott gains something he never expected as he becomes a sensation that rallies the entire school.
HERE COMES THE BOOM is another production of Adam Sandler's Happy Madison which opens October 12, 2012.
