(Final Draft) critigue of article, Title: “Farley Gets His Kicks / `Beverly Hills Ninja' earns style points and belly laughs”
The article “Farley Gets His Kicks/ ‘Beverly Hills Ninja’ earns style points and belly laughs” I believe is very funny. This article was written by Mick LaSalle and is a movie review of the movie “Beverly Hills Fat Ninja”. I found this article to be very funny and interesting to read. The first thing the writer mentions in his article is a 250 pound guy in a ninja outfit. I found this to be very funny because the idea of ninja being fat makes you think that the ninja is a joke. Another reason I believe that LaSalle’s article is very funny is because he mention’s a scene where the fat ninja tries to impress a woman walking into the dojo. A dojo is a place where ninjas train in self-defense. The third reason I think LaSalle’s movie review is very funny is because he mentions a scene where the fat ninja, which is an actor named Chris Farley, accidently finds himself in a strip club. I believe LaSalle’s movie review article of Beverly Hills Fat Ninja is very funny because he mentions funny scenes that I remember watching in the movie and he elaborates the scenes to show the hidden message or funny moment in the scene.
When the writer Mike LaSalle mentions a “250 pound guy in a ninja outfit.” and “That’s the movie’s one joke” I immediately start laughing. The concept that I was taught and I believe most people in the United States, was taught was that ninjas are supposed to be in great shape. The reason ninjas are supposed to be in shape is because ninjas have to do a lot of climbing and jumping which requires a body that is very fit. The writer also indicated something that automatically grabbed my attention and the attention of other readers. I think he stated something that makes you really think. LaSalle stated “why would they put a big guy in a ninja outfit?” I believe he wanted the viewer to realize that this ninja has got to be one of the most laziest ninjas that ever existed. Now, I watched the Beverly Hills Fat Ninja movie personally and I just now realized that the big ninja was doing a lot of lazy performances in the beginning of the movie. Those performances made me laugh hard but, I did not notice the actor was being lazy because of the image he was portraying on the cover of the movie. Mike LaSalle’s article is very funny because he addresses a concept that makes the reader understand the reason an overweight ninja exists in the movie (LaSalle, 1).
Another thing in the LaSalle’s article that makes me laugh is the scene where he mentions the big ninja trying to impress a woman. A woman comes to the dojo where the big guy is stationed looking to hire a ninja. In his article he says, “Pretending at an icy composure, he is, in fact, a flustered wreck, and he ends up taking the dojo apart.” I found this statement funny because sometimes men do try to be better than what they really are to impress a woman. I have seen many men do this and I have done it myself. The writer makes me think that it’s funny that men do this to impress girls. If you ever watch a friend of yours pretend to be bigger than what they really are, you find it to be very funny because you know it’s not true. The thought that the writer introduce reminds me and probably any man who reads this article is that its funny watch a man go through all the ridiculous stunts to convince a woman that he is the best for her (LaSalle, 1).
The writer from the movie review of Beverly Hills Fat Ninja, also mentions a scene with the big ninja guy walking into a strip club accidently. The says that the ninja “When the young ninja accidently finds himself onstage in a Beverly Hills strip joint, the kick is not just in watching Farley disintegrate into a wild man, it's in watching him struggle against his natural impulse.” The writer now addresses a moment when the ninja is embarrassed of his natural impulses with a woman this is probably very attractive. The image of this big ninja being embarrassed is enough to make me laugh and maybe someone else. But, the idea that the writer brings up also makes me think that sometimes we men have impulses that is hard to control. The writer mentions in his article that the big ninja turn into a while man after looking at dancers at a strip club. I guess the writer is saying his impulses turned him into a wild man but in a funny way. That is what the writer was trying to say in the article. Sexual impulse are very amusing to watch and experience in my opinion. But, sexual impulses are not always good to have because they can embarrass you. Although embarrassments be funny, you have to learn how to control it (LaSalle, 1).
I found this article that is written by Mike LaSalle called “Farley Gets His Kicks / `Beverly Hills Ninja' earns style points and belly laughs” to be very funny. The writer addresses new concepts in the movie that makes the movie more hilarious. The writer also mentions scenes that I find to be very funny because they remind me of things I experienced or remember seeing in the movie. This article in my personal opinion is very fun to read and I recommend anybody to read it, especially if they never seen the movie Beverly Hills Fat Ninja. This movie has plenty of funny moments and it introduces experiences a person might face
in life.
