"Ping Pong Playa" is a hilarious comedy about a Chinese-American 20-something slacker named Chris "C-Dub" Wong who dreams of being a pro basketball player. After losing his minimum wage job at the mall and causing a car accident in which both his mother and older (and very successful) brother are injured, his parents guilt him into teaching a ping pong class at the Chinese community center. In between winning money from his much younger students at ping pong and losing money to adults at basketball, Wong begins training to take his brother's place at the local ping pong tournament.
This movie is entertaining for all audiences, but many of the jokes may be lost on those not familiar with Chinese culture and the Mandarin Chinese language. The movie is in English, but Mandarin is spoken occasionally both by Wong's family and his best friend, an African-American who studies Chinese at the community center.
