He is great, and he is white, but he's no ninja. Rock, who makes a career out of calculated incredulity, has ample fodder here. [More]

A satisfying and sturdy vehicle for Farley that ought to please his fans, youngsters especially.

A silly movie, with silly jokes and a silly story. But the talents at work in it are not silly.

It's hard to believe that anything could make a moviegoer miss the presence of the always-obnoxious David Spade, but this stinker, Farley's first starring film without his erstwhile comedy partner, manages to do the trick.

Disappointing Farley vehicle. Not much humor, and the action isn't much.

Farley might want to be like John Candy, but, while Candy knew how to make an audience laugh, Farley keeps missing the mark.

The humor the premise throws off is supposed to be funny. It just isn't.

This formulaic tale of a ninja klutz trying to break a counterfeit ring can be recommended only to undemanding children, and even they may find it a drag.
