Beverly Hills Ninja

EW's GRADE
F

Details Movie Rated: PG-13; Genre: Comedy; With: Chris Farley, Chris Rock and Nicollette Sheridan

See, it's funny because Chris Farley is supposed to be a ninja, but he's fat, see — even on little screens he's fat — and so the plot of Beverly Hills Ninja requires him to perform a lot of fancy martial-arts moves, but he's rotund, see, and so he's constantly walking into walls and breaking priceless objets and hurting the wrong person and falling on the ground, because he's obese, see, and yet he's this ninja, this very large, clumsy ninja, and...and...well, that's why it's funny. See? F
