Critic Reviews

  • Daniel M. Kimmel, Variety

    Action is relatively mild for the genre and, unfortunately, so are the jokes.

  • Janet Maslin, New York Times

    Another of Hollywood's efforts to prove that the American mall mentality is at home in any corner of the globe.

  • James Berardinelli, ReelViews

    It's a real riot when a guy goes tumbling and thudding down a 300-step flight of stone stairs only to climb back up and do it again. What inspired comedy!

  • Richard Harrington, Washington Post

    An inoffensive slice of summertime fun.

  • Kevin A. Ranson, MovieCrypt.com

    No, no, no, No, NO!

  • Dean M


    Ninja nonsense! This action-comedy family film mix of several different genres loses focus, but kids will get a big kick out of it.

  • Steven V


    This action-comedy family film mix of several different genres loses focus. A movie so bad, so stupid, so silly and outrageous that it makes you fall out of your chair laughing. Ninja nonsense!

  • Patrick D


    I loved this as a kid, but I don't think I want to watch it again, I'm sure it won't hold up to my expectations.
