ithin the whole sports genre, we really haven’t seen a Ping-Pong movie before, and this entry gives the sport its most prominent big-screen showcase since "Forrest Gump."

In this spoof of low-budget spy thrillers, young Randy Daytona (Dan Fogler) is a washed-up Ping-Pong prodigy. Adored by thousands and the toast of the ping pong universe, Randy was on the verge of being crowned the world's greatest player when he chokes big time at the Seoul Olympics, which ultimately led to his father's murder. The situation hurls him out of the competition and into obscurity.

19 years later, Randy is nothing more than a slovenly lounge act at the Peppermill Dinner Theater in Reno, but FBI Agent Rodriguez (George Lopez) enters his life to recruit him for a secret mission. Rodriguez wants him to train so that he can infiltrate the lair of a wealthy and flamboyant mastermind known simply as Feng (Christopher Walken, offbeat and self-effacing as ever,).

So our pudgy, sweet-natured slacker gets a shot at redeeming himself and a chance to exact revenge on the man who killed Randy’s father. But Randy is way out of shape, so he must undergo a rigorous training regimen with a blind Ping-Pong master named Master Wong (scene-stealer James Hong) and his sexy niece student Maggie (Maggie Q, who appeared in Live Free or Die Hard) in order to make it to Feng’s mysterious compound to play in a disturbingly unique Ping-Pong tournament.
