Ping pong... Or as the Chinese like to call it: Ping pong.

Rating: 8/10 (19 March 2013)

Caddyshack spoofed golf and Balls of Fury spoofs ping pong. It does it in the same witty, deadpan, slapstick style with which Caddyshack spoofed golf. It was hilarious. When this movie first appeared in theatres, all the critics gave it such a bad review that I never went to see it and hesitated to rent it. Now, that I have finally seen it six years later (!!), I can only surmise that all those critics had clearly lost their way AND their sense of humor. The plot is silly, but no-one goes to see a movie called Balls of Fury with the expectation that it's going to be an Oscar nominated film. The movie has plenty of zingers and great one-liners that had me laughing out loud. Even the visuals were fantastically funny. Honestly, this was slapstick at its best. If you enjoyed a movie like Caddyshack back in the day, you will most certainly enjoy this.
