Hilarious in King of Queen, but isn't as funny in movies.

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.

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.
