About
You might enjoy this if you want a breezy, kid-friendly ninja romp with simple action and a goofy streak, somewhere near Top Dog in spirit; Not for you if you want serious thrills or a strong story.
Pros: plenty of ninja fights; light, goofy tone; family-friendly action | Cons: weak acting; annoying kid sidekick; thin, silly story
