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

Action is relatively mild for the genre and, unfortunately, so are the jokes.
Daniel M. Kimmel, Variety

Another of Hollywood's efforts to prove that the American mall mentality is at home in any corner of the globe.
