MCT:August 11, 2008this film is basically here for farley to provide us all with physical humor. luckily for us, mr. farley is a pretty fantastic physical comedian. it's not as good as his movies with david spade, but it's still got its moments.

Very Funny. A Chris Farley classic. Not the greatest comedy but I liked it. Chris had the physical comedy down to a tee. Wish he was still around to make more of these goof ball movies.

MCT:July 28, 2008Years ago, "Haru" (the late Chris Farley) was discovered inside a chest by a group of ninjas. He grows up believing that he is the "great white ninja" foretold in ancient scrolls. However, nothing could be further from the truth.
He has not become a master ninja, and has only been able to master very few skills. He is overweight and accident-prone, and not too bright.
One day, he is told by his Sensei (Soon-Tek Ho) to stay behind and tend to the shrine as those who graduated to ninja in "Haru's" class go on some mission. As he is messing around with a tight-fitting ninja uniform, a woman calling herself "Sally" (Nicollette Sheridan) comes in looking to hire a ninja to tail her boyfriend, "Martin" (Nathaniel Parker).
Based on a matchbook "Sally" dropped, "Haru" goes to Beverly Hills to find her. He also finds out that "Martin" is involved in counterfeiting foreign money. Also, he discovers that he can not adapt to Western civilization.
Out of the entire cast, Farley is the reason to see this movie. He really should have been a Hollywood stuntman. The guy will do just about anything to his body for a laugh, no matter the level of physical harm. For a guy of his size, he was flexible, as evident with martial arts fights in the movie. He is also good with using props set up in the room he is in, which are for a few good laughs.
In fact, there are many laughs in this film. There are just not enough side-splitting ones. If you ask me, the laughs are actually some really good chuckles. I also didn't laugh at every joke, possibly because I didn't think they were that funny.
I felt that none of the supporting cast had any real chemistry with Farley. Sheridan was OK when she was with him, but sometimes didn't set up the jokes for Farley's punchlines very well. Chris Rock seemed to me to be playing himself as seen during his days on "Saturday Night Live" more than a character.
I also felt that the supporting characters were not well developed. "Gobei" (Robin Shou) was mostly there for his real-life martial arts skills, but was pretty good with the limited amount of physical comedy he was subject to. If you ask me, the majority of the supporting cast were there to make a buck.
Out of the most recent movies I've seen, this one has the most memorable soundtrack. Many of the songs are martial arts themed popular songs or covers of classic songs like "Kung-Fu Fighting". I pretty much liked the music in this one.
For a martial arts movie, there really isn't a lot of martial arts in it. There is one extended fight in the entire movie, wish some brief ones through out. Even though Farley was trained for the movie, but he uses the ancient form of fighting more for jokes. He even uses martial arts weaponry for laughs more than what they are made for.
Sadly, I can't recommend this as a "Must See" movie. I would say it is more suited for watching on television when nothing else is on. -
MCT:July 23, 2008Chris Farley is always worth watching! Anyone from the good SNL era are worth watching even if they bomb!
-
MCT:May 20, 2008This might've honestly been the movie that forced Farley back down the Drug path. Very bad movie, nothing like Tommy Boy / Black Sheep.
-
MCT:May 4, 2008This movie received horrible reviews when it came out. I think people had the wrong expectations. I found this movie to be hilarious. I never tire of it.

MCT:January 28, 2008Farley was not funny too me ever, he was just really good at being obnoxious, for a Big Man, John Candy will always be one of the great actors in my heart.

Chris Farley reminds me of a latter-day Lou Costello. I guess that would make me sentimental and not a good critic for this movie. LOL. (Like I know anything about critiquing...I only know what I like)
-
MCT:January 11, 2008I'm totally embarassed to say that I love this movie It's silly and fun and makes no sense. Good times. I miss you, Chris Farley. You were a crazy inspiration to many.

If you don't like this movie, there's got to be something wrong with you. You can't not appreciate Chris Farley and what he's contributed to the world. I just wish we could've seen a lot more of him. Oh man what movies could be if he were still alive...

Displays Chris Farley's physical comedic talents nicely and Robin Shou gets to steal a lot of scenes as a competent ninja weighed down by Farley's bumbling.

Funny I suppose, if your a Chris Farley fan anyway. Very stupid plot though and mostly just some re-hashes of Farley's jokes from SNL and his other movies.
