If you like Chris Farley, see Tommy Boy or Black Sheep. Beverly Hills Ninja doesn't cut it. Farley, himself, is his usual; a blubbering idiot that runs into a lot of walls.

Movie Review

Grade: D+ Japanese myth tells of a foreign child that would be the greatest ninja of all. When Haru is found as a baby, his master thinks that he may be it. They were wrong. Incapable of the simplest moves, Haru is a total failure. However, when the mysterious and beautiful Alison appears, looking for a ninja to help her, Haru thinks that he can win back his pride. Setting off to the mystical world of Beverly Hills, he embarks into a conspiracy much greater than first thought. Despite the odds, Haru quickly catches onto Martin Tanley's dirty work but also finds himself accused of murder. Read the full movie review
