Netflix has a very surprising title in the Top 10 this week, and it features a beloved actor. In the number 2 slot, Kevin James’ Here Comes The Boom is standing tall. That’s right a little-remembered film from 2012 is hanging tough and outperforming Squid Game and some other heavy-hitters. Along the course of the pandemic, viewers have seen some strange titles grace the Netflix Top 10. Fun movies that got forgotten to time like Real Steel made a real impact over the course of the last couple of years. It’s always interesting to see what projects get that push from the algorithm. Now, it’s not crazy to think that James’ movies always find themselves surfing around the service. His comedies have endeared himself to audiences all across the nation. One fun wrinkly in Here Comes The Boom is that the funny man gets to flex his dramatic muscles as well. It’s not all just slapstick gags for James in the 2012 feature. (Although there are still some laugh-out-loud funny bits to be had.) In a time where people are trying to appreciate teachers more and more, the scenes with reflections on how to help communities and the students who live there stand out.
