Horrible
16 May 2004
This is definitely one of the least funny movies I've ever seen. I didn't expect much from a Farley movie, but I had never imagined it would be so bad. Even Chris Rock can't save this turd with his comedic genius. In fact, he didn't even make me laugh once. The plot is ridiculous. It relies on the totally unbelievable setting of a white fat guy trying to be a ninja, even though he is unrealistically clumsy, very ignorant and fairly retarded. It also makes everyone else in the film look like a grade A moron, everyone from the Sensei who would have thrown him out immediately, to the black bellboy who is convinced that he is a true ninja, even though he is as clumsy and incompetent as he is. The acting lies on a level somewhere between horrible and untalented. The characters are all stereotypes, and all seem to be equally stupid. The script is awful, and it puts the characters in a totally unbelievable amount of unrealistic, ridiculous scenes that would never happen in real life, and to top it off, are horribly unfunny. The only thing that raises this movie above the lowest rating of 1, is the scene near the end that has Chris Farley fight with martial arts against some enemies that are actually skilled at it, to the tune of "Kung Fu fighting". That, unlike everything else in the movie, actually made me, not only smile and snicker, but laugh out loud at the sheer ludicrousness of the scene. Apart from that funny but too short scene, nothing in this movie is worth watching. Apart from, maybe, the female lead character, who is quite attractive. I recommend this to no one but the least criticizing people, and maybe children, as they may find it funny. Most other people should avoid this like the plague. 2/10
