Impressed how great and funny this was! I seriously can't remember having so many actual LOL moments watching this film. Kevin James was amazing, and was the rest of the all star and supporting cast. Great to see some celebrity cameos as well. Great story, pacing and directing. A must see funny feel-good entertaining movie! Shocked at the current low rating.

Plot summary
Back in his prime, Scott Voss (Kevin James) was a collegiate wrestler with some fairly impressive moves. Now, at 42, he teaches biology at troubled Wilkinson High School. Mr. Voss has begun to grow deeply indifferent in his role as an educator when a troubling announcement stirs him to action. Effective immediately, Wilkinson High will be eliminating all extracurricular activities. Suddenly, the most apathetic teacher on the staff has a reason to get involved. But how is a typical high-school teacher like Mr. Voss supposed to raise the $48,000 needed to save the music program from going belly up? Upon learning that some MMA fighters earn $10,000 just for stepping into the ring, Mr. Voss vows to get back in shape, and subject himself to a series of brutal beatings so his students won't have to go without.

I like Kevin James, just can't get over the ridiculousness
Scott Voss (Kevin James) is a disillusioned biology teacher. His school is failing, and he's just going thru the motions. His friend Marty Streb (Henry Winkler) is the music teacher. One day, the principal cuts the music program and it's up to Scott to save it by fighting MMA. Bella Flores (Salma Hayek) is the hot school nurse.
No matter how I try, it's impossible to believe that Kevin James is a passable MMA fighter. It just hangs over the entire movie. To their credit, they did let him lose a lot. He's not just some over night success. There's a couple of fun moments. How could they not be? A fat guy rolling around doing slapstick fighting, that's priceless.

Boomed to fail
If you are an Adam Sandler fan then this might be for you as it stars Kevin James, a Sandler regular along with Henry Winkler and director Franck Coraci who has directed several Sandler films.
James plays a bored Biology teacher, Scott Voss who is spurred on to raise money for the music teacher job that is under threat.
Voss does some night teaching which gives him an idea to do some Mixed Martial Arts as an easy but painful way to raise the necessary funds.
Although Voss looks out of shape we are told that he used to be a decent wrestler in his youth.
You then get several bouts of hilarious beatings, so brutal that even Rocky Balboa would had quit whilst shouting 'no mas.' Someone should had mentioned to the co-writer and star Kevin James that MMA is regarded as being even more brutal than boxing.
It is an amiable and sporadically amusing movie. James is likable with his heart in the right place who steps up to save Winkler's job. There is a side plot where he romances Salma Hayek (we live in a universe where Hayek is single, lonely and available!)
The plot is simple, the fights are brutal where Voss should be left paralysed, especially with the last fighter Ken Dietrich the performer playing him (a real life MMA star) is magnificent.
The disappointing box office showed that this was only a half developed idea.
