Oh, gee, have I given too much away? Is there something in this lyrical narrative that can't be detected in the first five minutes?

What do ninjas and surfers have to do with each other? You've got me, and I heroically sat through all of Surf Ninjas.

Rotten
Action is relatively mild for the genre and, unfortunately, so are the jokes.
Daniel M. Kimmel, Variety
Rotten
Another of Hollywood's efforts to prove that the American mall mentality is at home in any corner of the globe.

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!
