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]

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

There's at least one consolation: David Spade is not in the movie.

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.

Chris Farley may not have been the world's most versatile comedian, but he sure as heck deserved better material than THIS!

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.

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