    I think it is more the material he is given to work with than anything else. He himself is funny, and I think that shines through even when he is working with a weak script. But even with a weak script there is only so much he can do.
    But the good news is he may be returning to TV soon. He recently signed a deal to work on a new sitcom. Personally I can't wait because I have missed seeing him on TV.

      I completely agree KOQ is one of my favorite shows and Kevin James as Doug is absolutely hysterical. But his stand up and his movies fall so flat. I don't get it. Seriously he should play every character as Doug.

        KOQ was well written. His movies suck. His stand-up comedy sucks so much, it's hard to believe it's the same person on the stage.

          I agree. I quite like KoQ (the earlier seasons, not so much the last one or two), but I haven't been impressed with his movies at all.

            I agree with most here. His movies are awful and very UNfunny. Not one laugh, and I'm the kind of person who is easy to make laugh. I loved King of Queens though.

              Was good in Hitch. Actually everyone was. Classic.

                Definitely agree with you on that. 'King of Queens' is one of my favorite sitcoms of all time, but yet Kevin James' movies don't nearly seem to get the same amount of laughter out of me that his show did, though I did think 'Here Comes the Boom' was the funniest movie he's done so far. I don't why that is, but my roommate, who's also a big KOQ fan, feels the same too. It could be that he just needs to pick better roles, maybe?

                  Have to agree - he is one of my favourite comedy performers5b4 in KOQ but the films just do not do it for me at all. It does not help that he appears with the waste of space that is Adam Sandler - one of the most unfunny guys ever.

                    I loved him as doug in the king of queens. Its partly because hes in terrible movies.
                    I remember the grown ups movie he was in, everyone in that movie was cringe worthy. He needs to stay away from Adam Sandler, that guys movies are complete trash these days.

                      I think what made him work on KOQ was having Leah Remini to play off of his character, also Jerry Stiller.

                        You're right Runnonn, it was his costars who propped him up.
                        His stand up is not funny, and the movies are awful.

                          It's because he always plays dorky nice guys in movies. He is only good when he plays a selfish jerk like Doug.
