Balls of Fury

If you have watched Dodgeball, the ben stiller type of loser turn winner movie which tries hard to make you laugh throughout the movie. And it usually succeed with slapticks, crap but funny dialogues, comical actions and unexpected moments of twists.

Balls of fury is of a lower grade of the above main elements. About a young talented american ping pong player, Randy, whose failure at the 88 Olympics which send his life into dismay.

Many many years later, he became fat probably being in a "Fast Food" nation. Performing his incredible ping pong skills in some low-down restaurant cum bar filled with Alzheimer filled patrons.

Then the crap starts ...

Some FBI guy approached him and wanted him to help him capture Feng, some underworld baddie who was crazy about ping pong and usually holds ping pong tournament with expert opponents which he invited.

He accepted and being a slapstick movie, why he accepted was of no importance.

Being washed-up, he need to brush up abit. Then entered the most funny character of the movie, Master Wong, the blind ping pong guru in Chinatown.

Yes, blind. Crap movie, remember ? Blind how to teach ? Can ... his niece, Maggie Q as Maggie. She is just there to kick butt, play some real good ping pong and to be in love with Randy.

After some training, Randy must beat "The dragon" so as to allow Feng to select him for the tournament. No reward for guessing how the dragon looks like, the more you think it would be, the least it would be.

Then came the tournament ... which was held in a secret place where Feng lived.

Like the part about the "sex slaves", whom were courtesan that are experts in erotic art. Yes, we are not watching "Lust, Caution" ... So it just have to be an unexpected moment of twist.

It ended with Randy finishing off Feng and with a "must have" happy ending. Overall, a very entertaining movie with its laughs here and there. 7/10
