Sarandon brings just the right note of flinty, tough-talking authority to the role, her star presence anchoring an ensemble consisting primarily of newcomers and character thesps.
Variety
Rating: B- --
While the film feels overly familiar in plot, it's lightweight, pleasurable tone causes it to glide by.

The Film Stage
It's so dedicated to the odd textures of its world that it becomes something else - personal, abstract, and strangely honest.

Rating: 2/4 --
The stakes are low throughout the film - even the bullies are mostly bluster - making the big finish an anticlimax.

Rating: 4/5 --
Downright absurd, but ineffably entertaining, and you simply have to take this for what it is, and get on board.

While "Ping Pong Summer" does aggressively pander to viewers' nostalgia (dig that Nike track suit, and Run-D.M.C. cassette tape!), it's also warmer and funnier than its worst jokes.

This gentle comedy, while entirely unmemorable, releases a genuine warmth that deflects harsh judgment.

Product Description:
A socially awkward teen strives to improve his status by mastering the game of table tennis during a family vacation in Ocean City, MD, in 1985. Radford "Rad" Miracle (Marcello Conte) is a shy adolescent on the precipice of a summer he'll never forget. Shortly after arriving at the beach, his love of hip-hop leads to a friendship with a fellow teen named Teddy. In no time, Rad and Teddy are hanging out at the local arcade, and playing table tennis together. Trouble arises, however, when a gang of wealthy bullies humiliate Rad in front of cute local Stacy Summers (Emmi Shockley). Now, in order to prove his worth and win the girl, Rad will learn to become a table-tennis champ the likes of which Ocean City has never seen before.
