Exclusive: Here Comes the Boom trailer

27 June 2012 at 4:22 am

Yahoo! Movies brings you the first look at Kevin James' new cage-fighting comedy 'Here Comes the Boom'.

The chubby star plays an over-enthusiastic biology teacher who moonlights as a mixed-martial arts fighter in an effort to raise money to save the school's music program.

The trailer shows James fail miserably to convert a slam dunk and throwing up all over a fighting opponent. Suffice to say, he doesn't start out as cage fighting material.

Watch the trailer below:

Salma Hayek, Melissa Peterman and 'Happy Days' star Henry Winkler co-star.

'Here Comes The Boom' is released in the UK on 9 November.
