Ping Pong (2002)

Two friends play ping pong but the one who is better at it doesn't exactly enjoy it, while the one who strives to make it a big part of his life cannot accept that.

Rating: 8.8/10

The Good:

-Nice soundtrack, the music does play a big part in films.
-Unlike some sport films this one focuses a lot of the personal problems of the player, their ups and downs in a way that we may relate to. They focused a lot of the friendship of the characters than just the sport and how they are affected by it.
-Finally a sport that is usually ignored or thought of not as a sport at all...(except "Balls of Fury" although that is completely different from with as viewed as a comedy) you get to see that this isn't so easy and how much sweat they produce frolicking from side to side.

The Sucketh:

-Like in real life, there's always someone better than you, no matter how hard you try and how they don't and that just sucks...
-It is a fairly slow film..so for those of you only watching for the actual ping pong and couldn't care less about the character development, fast forward to the end.
