Ping Pong Summer
Ping Pong Summer is an American comedy film written and directed by Michael Tully.
The year is 1985. Rad Miracle is a shy 13-year-old white kid who's obsessed with two things: ping pong and hip hop. During his family's annual summer vacation to Ocean City, Maryland, Rad makes a new best friend, experiences his first real crush, becomes the target of rich, racist local bullies, and finds an unexpected mentor in his outcast next-door neighbour. Ping Pong Summer is about that time in your life when you're treated like an alien by everyone around you, even though you know deep down you're as funky fresh as it gets.
Critic Reviews:
- " There's no deeper meaning to be had here. Just a good time, plenty of laughs, tons of nostalgia for the 1980s and the birth of Radical Miracle, who is everything Napoleon Dynamite wishes he was. " – Ryan Syrek
- " Ineffably entertaining, and you simply have to take this for what it is, and get on board. " – Stefan Pape
- " Growing up is a universal process of life to which anyone will be able to connect. “Ping Pong Summer” perfectly encapsulates this feeling, born out of the nostalgia of youth and times long past. " – Dustin Putman
