I really liked this movie but is not one I would watch again. Ping Pong had a good plot about a boy named Peco and his "career" with his friend Smile. He is played by Yosuke Kubozuka who is quite a good actor for this sport and sort of humorous film. The set was in Japan ( hence the language ) and also used some Japanese/Korean-like songs. I enjoyed this film but would only watch it if it was already on. Recommended for 11-whatever age as there is some strong language but I guess that is up to you. It is kind of hard to get into and is not for everyone but everyone has a different opinion and that. The main moral thing of this story I guess is perseverance which is a good thing to learn. Anyway- all I say is for you to try and watch it but don't feel forced to like it :) bye
