How bad a movie can be with Kevin
James and Salma Hayek in it? I was sure it would be a good one time watch and
surprisingly it turns out to be way too good than that. Although it’s a
predictable fare right from the very start but who cares, as long as it gives
you some hearty laughs at the end of the day. Kevin James is a school teacher,
bored of his job, never on time, one his colleague’s job is in trouble because
of the cost cutting done by management. How he raises the money to save his
friends job and music program with the help of his own students from a part
time class makes for an awesome comedy. This guy Kevin never fails to surprise
me with his histrionics – I mean it’s totally amazing to see him doing all
that. I still haven’t forgotten his scenes and chemistry with Will Smith in
“Hitch” and this is exactly the same type of role he plays in here too. Watch
out his scenes with Salma Hayek – even she surprised me big time with her
awesome beautiful looks, although a brief role but it’s too good to see her in
a movie like this. Its quite a breeze but a little over 100 minutes of runtime,
never lets you relax for a moment with so much happening at break neck speed
and the finale is the best part of the movie. it did rock me off the chair so
many times and totally enjoyed the whole thing. If comedy is what you like –
you should see this on a lazy Friday with friends to enjoy it even more. I will
definitely give it a good 2 and a half stars. One each for Kevin & Salma
and the balance half for the story and handling. It’s a great time pass for
sure if nothing else. Check it out.
