Chris Farley is so loveable that this is worth a watch purely for his charisma. Aside from that, it's a blast from the past and a fun throwback, but ultimately gets lost in the shuffle of the other 90s comedies.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lighthearted fish-out-of-water comedy that leans hard into physical humor and slapstick mayhem as an overweight, clumsy ninja stumbles through Beverly Hills. It's silly, broad, and entirely committed to making you laugh at pratfalls and miscommunications.
