Anyway, it was decent for what it was. The fighting was better than I expected, the comedy was close to over the top but not too bad, and the characters were infectious.

Spoiler!

Goddamn it, I wish they wouldn't have taken the Rocky approach and had him win. It would have been a much better story IMO to have him rally and lose and have Joe Rogan or that dude he fought donate the money. Or even have them get back home and have anonymous donations pour in because of the story. The Rocky story was predictable and nowhere near what would actually happen. There isn't any way anybody can come back through that beating and land the stuff he did without the other guy getting drugged or something. It really took away from the story IMO.

In other news, Salma Hayek is still ****ing fine. I looked her up, and she's 46. She's quite possibly the hottest 46 year old ever in the history of mankind. Son of a bitch. She is goddamn hot.

Kevin James must have worked out A LOT to get into that kind of shape. He looked good.

The thing I did like about the movie was it didn't pull any punches about education sucking bawls these days. I don't think teachers are doing nothing like James was. but the commentary between him and Hayek about the system was poignant. Yeah, it is a dramatization, but the problems in the movie are real, and they really didn't pull any punches talking about it. Good on them.

I saw this last night and agree on all points. Especially Salma Hayek. DAY-UMMM!!
