DVD Reviews of Surf Ninjas
DVD Review: 90's surfer cheese still appeals to kids today!
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm 23 years old & purchased this classic example of cheesy 90's surfer comedy purely for my own nostalgia. I had no idea young kids today would like it too!
I have 2 half-sisters, one is 5 years old and the other is 10. Obviously they both missed out on 90's culture & sense of humor, so when I popped in this DVD I predicted they'd get bored & walk out. Even though they're clearly "millenium" kids, they loved it! They did have to ask some questions, as it's heavy on pop-culture references & slang, but it didn't hinder their enjoyment. They actually asked me why we didn't have movies like this anymore!
Words of caution: Like many of these 90's B-movie comedies, don't expect perfection. The plot is outrageous, & it's SUPPOSED to be that way. The 90's was an era of KID-EMPOWERMENT. Movie after movie was made with the message that kids can do & be anything: ninjas, surfers, millionaires, sports stars, detectives, heroes, all of the above. So if you're the type that gets bothered by impossible scenarios & are prone to saying "they can't do that, they're just kids," then don't watch this movie.
Also, (& unfortunately) keep in mind that media wasn't as politically correct back then as it is now. Asian-Americans & minorities in film were hardly depicted accurately, & this movie's no exception. Please be prepared to explain to your kids WHY a movie like this wouldn't fly today: because it's offensive to lump all Asian cultures & stereotypes together -- which is basically what they did with the "country" of Patusan in this movie. I personally don't think this movie is a reflection of the times & wasn't intentionally meant to be offensive. Like its other ninja-flick peers, it had to resonate with mainstream America & ignorant movie-goers. It's unfortunate, but if the movie's goal wasn't to educate the world on Asian culture, then stereotypes were apparently sufficient.
So if you're looking for a fun family movie night, this movie is for you as long as you have the right mindset. If you're a 90's kid looking to surf down memory lane, then just get it already, you won't be disappointed :)
