This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Two California teenagers learn that they are actually heirs to a kingdom in some far away Asian country island however in order to claim their rightful place, they must battle an evil dictator and save their adopted dad in the process. Surf Ninjas is of course as bad as you would expect. I mean we are talking about a movie that is supposed to feature ninjitsu masters on surf-boards who ride to the rescue. What makes this movie so dire is its complete lack of freshness or ambition. This is an obscure, low grade 3 Ninjas rip off that lacks even the remote distinguished thread. As far as these things go, we look at the humor which is inoffensive but unfunny. Acting that isn't awful but uninspired and action sequences watered down for kids. I'm guessing kids into martial arts may like this but given the fact that most kids would rather watch Bruce Lee movies or even 3 Ninjas, Surf Ninjas is only for the kid who will sit through anything. Of course adults forced to watch, may spend the running time wishing they never had kids.1/2* out of 4-(Awful)

This has to be one of the worst movies i have ever seen in my life. I was just going to my youth group like every other week, but this week was oh so different. This week we watched a movie and not just any movie it was Surf Ninjas. My friend picked it out and so i thought it would be okay but the more i watched it the harder it became to watch. I lasted throughout the whole movie, i couldn't believe it. I was so mad that we had to watch this stupid movie. After i left i couldn't help thinking how bad it was and then i realized that this is hands down in the top 5 worst movies that i have ever seen in my life. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE: YOU WILL REGRET IT. I know i did.

What more can you say about this movie? it's got everything! Cheesy effects, parachute pants, a game gear that kicks peoples butts. This movie is obviously for kids, but if you want a good laugh then i suggest watching this film. I was also very surprised to see Rob Schnieder, he definitely made his mark when he did this movie...he has amazing human skills. I loved the parachute pants. I think i might have seen M.C Hammers name somewhere in the credits (stop! hammer time!) Anyways, this film had me in tears. The effects were brutal! I think they might have shot this whole film behind a blue screen, i'm not sure though....The best part of this movie was when the kid hopped into the jeep and ran over the army dudes. First off all the jeep was stick and i don't think a 10 year old can drive manual. Another thing that bothered me was that he was going so slow I don't know how the guys didn't see it coming. Like, he must have been only going 5 clicks..if that. Army dudes when are you going to learn? I also liked how he still had time to say a catchy phrase, get his surfboard posse in the jeep, and then drive away with out being hit by a single bullet. I think it might have had something to do with Rob Schnieder being on the back of the jeep. He probably used his sweet acting skills to block the bullets telepathically. Man, he's good! In conclusion I recommend this move for kids because it has all the right elements that I child would love to see in a film. Now, for the parents or anyone over the age of 18 I think you should really consider watching this movie as a slap stick comedy. Amazing job by the director and cheers to anyone who was a part in making this film. I look forward to seeing sequel.

OK I know your like its another obsessed kid saying how great this movie is. Well I'm here to tell u its not the greatest movie. I luv it cause i rented it every time I went to the video store. My mom got tired of me always renting it so she wouldn't let me get it. NE way not the point I am 16 years old and i luv this movie still.Its crappy and cheesy but if u like goofy movies you'll like this. You need to at least try it. You can tell the actors had fun with this movie even when they knew it was stupid. They wanted to make a movie that had fighting in it and cheesy lines and they did.I'm not saying its an Oscar but its a really good comedy especially if u like Wayne's world or other goofy movies like that. So give it a try it might surprise at how funny it is.
