a5c7b9f00b A man tries to rescue a woman with a little help from his half brother.
It's the story of an unlikely overweight man named Haru who was an orphaned baby back then when he was raised by ninjas in Japan. His physical challenges, still becomes a Ninja, albeit a klutzy white one. His first mission brings him to Beverly Hills to investigate a murder mystery.
this is a very funny movie.Chris Farley is hysterical as an inept,clumsy ninja of sorts.the laughs come fast and furious in this one,and i have to say i laughed hard a lot.yes,the movie is silly,but in a good way.there is no toilet humour in this movie,which is nice.they're not scraping the bottom of the barrel to get laughs.the humour in this movie is something most people will relate to or at least get.there are also some dramatic moments which are done well.Nicolette Sheridan plays the sort of love interest,and she does a good job in her role.of course,she's also easy on the eyes.if you like movies with a lot of physical comedy and pratfalls,this may be your movie.this movie is not an academy award winner,obviously,but then,it's not that type of movie.for me,this is one of the funniest movies i've seen in quite some time."Beverly Hills Ninja" gets a 9/10 from me.
Relax! Laugh your butt off!!! It's Chris Farley!!!!! Reading through other comments posted here, I notice that people are using five or six big paragraphs to review this. There's really not enough about this movie to be spending so much time reviewing it. Don't see this movie hoping for a great story or accurate ninja fighting action, or compelling drama like some of the commentors here seem dissapointed with. Take the stick out yer bum and relax. Just enjoy Chris Farley at his best. Few movies have ever made me laugh harder. I'm not an aged 8-14 male.
The slapstick and the sight gags come thick and fast, as they have throughout a hundred years of screen comedy, yet director Dennis Dugan and writers Mark Feldberg and Mitch Klebanoff keep everything light and bouncy.
