Reviews for Beverly Hills Ninja
Top CriticFarley, a real lightweight compared to such late, great predecessors John Belushi and John Candy, brings none of Belushi's edgy intelligence, nor Candy's gentle pathos to this comic caricature.
01/22/02
Top CriticA silly movie, with silly jokes and a silly story. But the talents at work in it are not silly.
01/01/00
Top CriticThe humor the premise throws off is supposed to be funny. It just isn't.
01/01/00
Top CriticThere's at least one consolation: David Spade is not in the movie.

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

Top CriticThe funfest comes with an OFF warning -- Only For Farleymeisters.
01/01/00
An extremely unfunny vehicle for Chris Farley.
