Dan Fogler plays a former-child-prodigy ping pong player recruited by the FBI to infiltrate some sort of asian gangster's compound.
Not as horrible as it sounds.
First of all, it was nice to see a comedy not starring Will Farrell or the guys from Superbad who have been in every 3rd movie for the last 2 years. Dan Folger.... I dunno. Something about him reminds me of Sam Kinison. Which is good.
Secondly, I can't decide if this movie is silly without being completely absurd, or absurd without being completely silly. Whichever one is better.
Not the best movie I've ever seen, but not a completely painful experience, either.
Plus I tend to like sports movies, and I guess ping pong (or as they say in China, 'ping pong') is a sport.
