United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"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"	POS
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"If you're nostalgic for the third grade and all those little wads of wet paper bouncing off the back of your neck, Beverly Hills Ninja is the movie for you."	NEU
United States	Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"A satisfying and sturdy vehicle for Farley that ought to please his fans, youngsters especially."	POS
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"Farley might want to be like John Candy, but, while Candy knew how to make an audience laugh, Farley keeps missing the mark."	NEG
