Generic, but OK

Rating: 5/10 (17 November 2007)

Loved the training sequences in this - but the rest was slightly off-kilter.
The idea of taking the martial arts film and using ping-pong as its weapon of choice is a nice one and actually the strongest idea in the film. the homage to Bruce Lee films are seen throughout if you're looking - and the Chinese scenes are the best thing in the movie.
Had to say the tournament just wasn't exciting enough, just not enough real sports - this only works as satire if it has moments of real heart as well as real dumbness - plenty of smart dumb ideas, but not enough heart.
Pizza and beer movie - sure - just don't expect to really laugh, you will chuckle, and smile wryly though.
