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

Reviews for Surf Ninjas
Another of Hollywood's efforts to prove that the American mall mentality is at home in any corner of the globe.
In all its corny mayhem, Surf Ninjas manages to have some fun mixed in with the parts that wipe out.
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!
They surf in the first half and ninja in the second, but this light comedy adventure never really takes off.
