-
A mostly amusing, appealing family comedy about going from pretender to contender, in life as well as pingpong.
-
75Yu has a good time making fun of white people, in particular a pair of rival ping-pong teachers who seem inspired by the gay villains in the Bond film "Diamonds Are Forever."
-
Tsai, who co-wrote the script with Yu, pulls out all the stops with his C-dub role, brimming with witty send-ups of Chinese-American cultural values and Asian stereotypes.
-
70A bright, nimble diversion, a quick-witted picture that's fast on its feet.
-
70A good, clean, fun comedy that uses a table tennis championship to crack inside jokes about Los Angeles' Chinese-American community.
-
63Has a certain silly, kid-friendly charm.
-
58Even the championship showdown feels polite.
-
58He's a mishmash of cultural opposites, and his motormouth swagger is fitfully amusing. So is his backhand.
-
Frantically paced, littered with cute kids, and overstuffed with split screens and a rap score, Ping Pong Playa angles a little too hard for tween attention, but there's no resisting the movie's antic affability or its irreverence.
-
Breathes fresh life into the tired, bloated sports-comedy formula -- while remaining utterly formulaic.
-
50This thin premise can't sustain a feature, and the racial and gay jokes are jarring, but the child actors are cute, especially Andrew.
-
50Something is missing here.
-
40A decidedly lightweight amusement.
