Review

should be the asian napoleon dynamite, but probably won’t be. about a suburban asian guy who acts like an urban black guy. when his family hits hard times he needs to step up and play ping pong in a tournament that could be good for the family business. besides the good sense of humor, the film brings a realistic view of second generation asians growing up in america. trying to fit in while pleaseing their parents at the same time. it’s a good little film with some nice performances.
