San Francisco Chronicle
This is a movie in which the audience knows half the gags in advance, but thanks to director Dennis Dugan's timing and Farley's execution, the audience doesn't just laugh anyway, but laughs harder. Knowing in advance is part of the fun.

Los Angeles Times
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.

Christian Science Monitor
As coarse, vulgar, adolescent action comedies go, Beverly Hills Ninja comes across as relatively tame - less profanity, less violence, less sex than typical for this "Naked Gun" wannabe.

Beverly Hills Ninja is essentially a one-joke film.

TV Guide Magazine
Farley -- one of the few comedians who could ever be justly accused of debasing the pratfall -- has made a film that's tantamount to watching an overweight man slip on a banana peel for nearly 90 minutes.

Washington Post
Chris Farley walks into walls, trips over invisible banana peels and otherwise makes a fat ass of himself in this imbecilic, slapstick adventure from the producers of "Dumb and Dumber."

Austin Chronicle
Nearly as much fun as a case of scabies, Beverly Hills Ninja transports the viewer into a mystical realm where pratfall is king and mediocrity is its own reward.

Beverly Hills Ninja. Everybody was kung fu fighting. A funny comedy about the great white ninja, if of course it's him. Chris Farley did a great job.

This fat ass is really funny. The movie feels like a live-action version of Kung Fu Panda.

I'm surprised this movie got such low reviews. I thought it was actually really funny. The only problem that I have with this movie is that the story/plot of it is pretty bad. Other than that its pretty funny. But, R.I.P to Chris Farley, who is the main star in this movie but, it was a childish way to die (OD) but otherwise R.I.P to him.

It's a one joke movie. It almost works too. The gags and slapstick is seen coming in advance, but it is still satisfying. Mediocre overall with a few moments of genuine laughs.

This is the stupidest movie ever. You can't call something a comedy unless it's funny, notice I didn't even try to say, "This is the stupidest comedy ever."
