BEVERLY HILLS NINJA (1997) “Kung Fool” scandait l’affiche... à raison! Fêtant ses vingt bougies -mon Dieu-, cet énième film estampillé “Beverly Hills Quelquechose” est, vous vous en doutez, une mauvaise comédie... nanardesque: on passera sur le viol de la culture japonaise, ici réduite à son minimum, pour mettre en scène le pire ninja de tous les temps, Haru, interprété par -R.I.P.- CHris Farley, qui décéda la même année. Grotesque, idiot et stupide, on suivra cet antihéros -je cite le film- adipeux, cet orphelin blanc élevé au sein du temple ninja le plus secret de tous les temps, dans sa quête visant à démanteler une organisation criminelle... à Beverly Hills. Comment? C’est très simple, grâce à une blondasse ricaine qui débarquera sans crier gare dans le temple “on m’a dit que je trouverais des ninja ici” pile au moment où Haru sera seul, sensei et disciples absents, le convaincant de son histoire nécessitant un filage discret. WTF me direz-vous, et vous avez raison. A la recherche de cette femme mystérieuse dont il a accepté la mission, Haru partira en route vers les U.S.A. pour enquêter, secondé -mais ça il ne le sait pas- par Liu Kang en personne! Pardon, je voulais dire l’acteur Robin Shou, qui interprétait le rôle principal de MORTAL KOMBAT (1995) deux ans plus tôt; et le cast sera aussi agrémenté d’un jeune Chris Rock (THE FIFTH ELEMENT, 1997) plutôt timide. On aura bien évidemment droit à tous les gimmicks inhérents aux comédies américaines des 90′s, des clichés bon enfant (parfois un peu beaucoup racistes, comme en témoignera la scène de cuisine dans le restaurant asiatique) aux musiques énervantes (Kung-Fu Fighting, sérieusement les gars?). Gags relou, scènes sans queue ni tête, rien ne semble stopper la machine. Mais au-delà de cette bêtise sur-assumée, BEVERLY HILLS NINJA se laisse regarder, malgré son inégalité évidente: c’est tellement couillon qu’on en rit, tellement abusé qu’on n’a pas le temps d’être choqué par la connerie à laquelle on vient d’assister, une autre venant s’ajouter à la liste instantanément. Témoin d’un autre époque où les studios signaient tout et n’importe quoi, BEVERLY HILLS NINJA rejoint la caste des nanars, mauvais donc, mais tout à fait fendard: on en vient à se demander ce que Chris Farley aurait pu nous donner à l’écran s’il ne nous avait pas quitté, lui qui avait pourtant joué dans le trop surestimé WAYNE’S WORLD (1992) et l’oublié CONEHEADS (1993), tant il en fait des tonnes. Le ridicule ne tue pas? Hmm, à méditer, vu le destin de notre protagoniste principal... CONplètement débile, BEVERLY HILLS NINJA assurera le samedi soir entre potes, VF oblige, avec son lot de méchants caricaturaux, son antihéros aussi gras qu’agile et maladroit, et sa storyline barrée blindée de punchlines cultes. Surexcité, ce film est tout indiqué, le tryptique bière/pizza/potes étant indissociable de ce genre de produit. Une brave merde, très marrante en tout cas.  BEVERLY HILLS GROS TAS /20

Just Go with It

1 hour 57 minutes

Rated PG-13 (Frequent Crude and Sexual Content, Partial Nudity, Brief Drug References and Language)

Directed by Dennis Dugan

Starring Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, and Brooklyn Decker

1.5 out of 4 stars

Dennis Dugan films are clearly not meant to be taken seriously. He's directed Big Daddy, Saving Silverman, The Benchwarmers, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, Grown Ups, You Don't Mess with the Zohan, and now the Adam Sandler/Jennifer Aniston comedy Just Go with It. I do think he makes stupid movies and I admittedly do laugh quite a few times when I watch them. In terms of pretending to be a serious movie critic though I never really like or recommend any of his films. I did laugh a few times during Just Go with It but I just can't recommend it. It's just too stupid and ridiculous.

Now yes I understand that many times I do recommend certain films that the majority of people dislike. I liked those Twilight movies. I like that robot movie Transformers: Dark of the Moon which was practically panned by critics but has managed to make 900 million dollars worldwide. My level to ease my criticism and simply accept Just Go with It for what its stupidity was, however, is incapable of rising. Let's start with the plot (and it's shocking because the story is based off a French play and a popular 1969 film called Cactus Flower). Adam Sandler pretends to be married so he can sleep with a bunch of girls. And for some reason the girls find this sexy? What? I don't get it.

So then he meets a beautiful 23 year old woman (Brooklyn Decker, wife of Andy Roddick). They sleep together and then when she finds his ring she freaks out. For some reason Sandler thinks that he and this girl have some potential to be a real couple. But why? Not to spit on Decker but all Sandler seems to want is her body. What is so special about this woman? She's so boring.

Things get even more unbelievable when Sandler asks his pal Jennifer Aniston if she could pretend to be his wife and her kids could pretend to be his kids. None of this is even remotely believable. And for some reason Decker believes all of it. Why? Is she supposed to be a ditz or something? That would have been fine but Decker's character is so thinly developed she isn't presented to us to be a ditz.

Oh yeah and to make things even more predictable and lame Sandler and Aniston start having feelings for each other. Come on! I can have fun with stupid movies but sometimes their stupidity is too much for me and I can't help but give them a bad review. You can keep the slapstick humor and jokes but why can't Dugan make this movie just a tad bit realistic? If it was just a little more believable I'd appreciate it. Sandler and Aniston seem to be having fun with each other. Child actress Bailee Madison (next to be seen in Don't Be Afraid of the Dark) gets quite a few laughs. And even Nicole Kidman has a role in this that was surprising and fun to watch. You have some great jokes and a great cast. Just get a better script for the love of god!
